SEATON Town Council has agreed to offer up to �5,000 towards Christmas decorations in the town.

The money will be given to the resort's chamber of commerce, following accusations last month that the council had "cancelled Christmas".

Chamber chairman Marcus Hartnell says traders want to build on the success of a late night shopping event last year and intends to provide more entertainment.
