EIGHT 25ft Christmas trees will be put up in city suburbs this year. They are all being paid for, erected and decorated by Nottingham City Council – but it as part of a PFI contract with electricity company SSE to replace streetlights across the city.See where your nearest tree is on our map

The council is paying the company back over 25 years for the work – including the Christmas trees and says it does not know the cost – although it would expect to pay £5,000 for a 60ft tree and £800 per 25ft tree.
Trees will be at Bulwell Market, Sherwood, Bramcote Lane shopping area, Sneinton Dale Police Station, Clifton shops, Aspley Lane shops, St Ann's Police Station and Sneinton Market Square.
