TEIGNMOUTH is looking more festive by the day.

Lights and decorations are going up in the town centre and, this week, the traditional large Christmas tree was erected in The Triangle.

It is sourced locally and paid for by the town council.

Town clerk Tracey Higgs said: ‘We do this every year, and it adds a bit of sparkle and festive atmosphere to the town.

‘Tomorrow, the lights will be officially switched on at The Triangle, so the countdown to Christmas has really started.

‘We are also installing a tree in Northumberland Place.’
