'Modern' Ramsey Christmas tree sparks social media backlash

Controversy has been caused in the town of Ramsey as they've unveiled one of their main focal point Christmas trees.

Traditionally the Parliament Square tree has been a traditional large real tree, which greets motorists at arguably the towns busiest point for traffic.

This year it has been replaced with a decorative, but synthetic white plastic tree to the consternation of locals.

The other end of the street near to the old Courthouse will however retain the usual tree, with the Christmas lights set to be switched on with 3FM tomorrow evening.
