A group of local volunteers has come together to raise money for a new set of Christmas lights for Crystal Palace Triangle. Local Labour MP Steve Reed met with two volunteers to support their cause.

Crystal Palace Triangle has been left unlit over Christmas for many years. Now Croydon Council has agreed to install and store the new lights if the funds are raised before the deadline in June.
