Herne Bay's new Christmas tree dubbed 'worst in the world'

November 29, 2012HBM

Herne Bay's new Christmas tree - replacing one dubbed the worst in the country - has been slammed as the worst in the world by campaigners.

Council bosses bowed to public pressure after a week of criticism about the tree in Mortimer Street and the town's lights display, and the original sorry specimen was uprooted and replaced yesterday.

But the new tree - due to be decorated with lights and decorations made by town schoolchildren later today - has not won many admirers.
