DUNTOCHER got well and truly into the community – and festive – spirit at the weekend while celebrating their new Christmas tree.

Residents and local businesses donated money to fund the tree as West Dunbartonshire Council were no longer providing one.

An event was held last Friday to celebrate the new Christmas tree and the lights were switched on at 7pm.

Donations to West Dunbartonshire Community Foodshare were collected and £168 was raised for the Duntocher OAP fund.

Organisers described it as a “fantastic event that was embraced by the community” and have set a foundation for it to become an annual tradition.
