A BRAMPTON community Christmas event today will still go ahead despite the Christmas tree being vandalised - just hours after it had been put up.
The Christmas tree, worth £300, was erected by the fire service outside Cortonwood Comeback Centre at 12pm on Tuesday. Just eight hours later, a group of young vandals set about breaking the tree's branches.
The Christmas tree has been paid for by Brampton Parish Council.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
