Liskeard's Christmas Lights Up and Lantern Parade is due to be held on Saturday, November 28, but only if the organising committee can raise the funds needed.

John Lennon, chairperson, says the event costs between £5,000 and £6,000 for repairs, light replacements, a firework display, music, first aid and safety, and materials and building of lanterns.

He appealed to residents and businesses, for financial help or the event was in danger of being discontinued.
