“Christmas lights are likely to be less bright this year,” explained the Norman city of Neufchatel (Neufchatel-en-Bray) mayor Xavier Lefrancois. “Although the decorations have already been partially installed, they will not shine as usual. Due to the increase in the price of electricity, the municipality has taken on obligations.
We will focus mainly on the main street, but there will be a little less Christmas decorations because it is our duty to save “.
The impact of the crisis will also be felt in Strasbourg and in the capital, Paris, where the special lighting on the Champs Elysees will be turned off just before midnight and the decorations will be removed as early as 2 January.
The only exceptions will be Christmas and New Year.
Discussions are also underway in Belgium and the Netherlands and similar decisions have been made in many municipalities – reducing the number of decorations, the duration of lighting, as well as using cheaper lamps – the use of new LED technologies really saves a lot. .
