#BREAKING | West Kirby Christmas Lights have cancelled the switch-on at the Concourse this Saturday due to a forecast for bad weather.
They said: “Unfortunately a severe storm is forecast this weekend so we have taken the very difficult decision to cancel the Switch On event planned for this Saturday 23 Nov 4-6pm.
“The safety of all is our priority. A lot of planning goes into the event and we have to make a decision in plenty of time to inform all parties and allow everyone to plan accordingly. We are really disappointed but we cannot take the risk of having to cancel it on the day. We are hoping to get the lights on at the weekend.
“We cannot organise another event before Christmas, but are planning to organise a community event early next year.”

There’s no storm showing on any of my weather apps?? Just rain in the morning x
That's a shame but understandable. Do you know if the santa dash the next day has been cancelled too?
Such a shame, the forecast in the afternoon is for milder winds but you never know these days!
What a shame, but better to be safe than sorry.
A shame but understandable. Looking forward to seeing them on
Such a shame
How disappointing
I've not seen a bad forecast

I need to join! Xx
Hope you dont catch anything in that dirty freezing water! Or get stung or get a bad dose of the runs! Im cosy and warm indoors in my fleecy dressing gown after Christmas shopping and unpacking! Very wet and busy on the roads! Puddles everywhere! I may try my indoor swimming club tomorrow where the water is warm and clean! You all look as if you have enjoyed yourselves! I used to go swimming in Hoylake baths when I was a child! It was freezing! Canoeing on the Marine lake with school friends too! I did not have the health problems back then! Waiting for a new hip!"!!!! I do not mind paddling in the sea in the summer and swimming in the Caribbean sea! Lovely temperature!!!!! Outdoor swimming has been going for years!!!!! Take your pick! Outdoors if you are hardy and indoors if you want to keep warm and safe! Thats the one for me!!!!!! I did enjoy seeing the Santa swims on Boxing day a number of years ago! Our gentle giant dog Buddy R I P loved it too!!!!
Dr Moseley R I P did not have much common sense either Looks like woke to me and so much money making !
