**The town of Diss has beaten last year’s total of £5 to pay for the town’s decorative
Christmas lights.**

Last year UK Fundraising [reported ](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/news.php?id=4042&rtype=news)
on the total of £5 that was raised by the people and companies of Diss to pay for
their town’s Christmas decorative lights.

The town was the butt of jokes for its mean-spirited approach to Christmas. One 
TV show even had a whip-round from its audience to help the townspeople of Diss 
have a more festive experience.

target set.
