A spokesman for the competition said: “What a difficult time Oswestry In Bloom had in selecting the winner of “Oswestry In Lights”.

“So many beautifully decorated houses, and all so different – but a winner had to be decided.

“The displays were judged by their wow factor, creativity, effort and how much it said Christmas.

“As it is all about bringing joy to friends and neighbours the number of people contacting In Bloom to nominate was also added into the mix.”
