Merseyside streets transformed into Christmas wonderland

Two streets in Merseyside have been transformed for Christmas for the second year running.

People living on Cullen Avenue and Faux Crescent in Bootle have come together again to transform the residential streets into a winter wonderland.

This comes after the sparkling success of last year, when a group of women went door-to-door encouraging their neighbours to get involved.

The women spent their days decorating the streets with lights and convincing residents to do up their houses for the festivities.

Last year's display was so incredible that people travelled to the area from other parts of Merseyside just to see the lights.

Speaking to the ECHO last year, Cathy Swords said: "We just thought, everyone has been so down because of the whole year.

"It has been hectic and people could use some cheering up, we thought this would help.

"We went door to door and explained what we wanted to do and asked people to through in what they could.

"Everyone has got involved and it looks great but we are planning to make it even bigger."
