An angry butcher says that the Council is to blame for a shocking state of affairs on what should have been one of his busiest nights of the year.
And the complaints by Brough's Butchers manager Mark Shepherd have been backed by a chorus of disapproval on FB after the Council stopped him from running a BBQ - and wider criticisms of the lights switch on, too.
This from its FB page: "What an absolutely disgrace West Lancashire County Council (sic) are.
Tonight it was our Christmas light switch at which every year we have supported and done our annual bbq.
Today we were told we didn't have permission to do it which we have never been told before we needed, the council have always said it's OK, so after a few discussions they said they will turn a blind eye.
What they decided to do was to put a big marquee right in front of our shop so we couldn't really trade, as a small business we felt we were pushed aside, all the council wanted to do tonight was get as many businesses in the town who will pay for there (sic) pitches.
They don't care about supporting local businesses and putting them first.
Ormskirk is such a fantastic place and the people so friendly, it's a town which needs support from the council but they are not helping and it's such a shame to see a great town just becoming so quiet.
I wish the council would see this but they don't, please share this post. #loveormskirk"
It's not known if the Council will be offering Brough's compensation - that's one of the questions QLocal's Roger Blaxall has asked its PR office this morning.
