Response

The Council does not hold the information you have requested as Christmas Lights/Events are organised by the three Town Councils in our area, not the District Council.  Contact details for Dover Town Council, Deal Town Council and Sandwich Town Council can be found on our website at https://moderngov.dover.gov.uk/mgParishCouncilDetails.aspx?SLS=3.
