Once again Mosman Council is seeking involvement of households in helping bring the spirit of Christmas to Mosman residential areas.
“Council is encouraging all residents and businesses with street frontages to take up the challenge this year and prepare memorable displays in the lead up to Christmas,” Council’s Manager Communications, Liz Bennett, said.
“These displays will help bring the festive spirit to our shopping hubs and residential streets.”
