The Mayor of Hertford, Cllr Bob Deering, said:

“Christmas in Hertford is such a special time of the year. Our local businesses and traders contribute so much to bring cheer and festive spirit to the town so I hope that as many of our local businesses as possible will take part in this year’s annual Winning Windows competition. We have had very many excellent entries in recent years, and I know that picking a winner this year will, for the best of reasons, once again be a very difficult decision.”
