A woman has spoken of how she was told to remove her Christmas
lights by a housing association worker - in case they offended
her non-Christian neighbours.
Dorothy Glenn decorates her home in South Shields with hundreds
of festive lights every year, including a giant tree and a 4ft
Santa Claus.
But she was left stunned this year when a South Tyneside Homes
worker called at her house to inform her that the decorations
she was displaying might be offending her neighbours.
The association last night apologised to Mrs Glenn and insisted
that removing Christmas lights was not part of their policy.

The 41-year-old mother-of-three said: 'I put the lights up in
the first week of November and then recently a uniformed housing
worker was outside, and it looked like he was counting my decorations.
'When I went outside he said that the lights were "offensive
to the community". If I was offending anyone I could understand
why he was telling me, but nobody has complained.
'My neighbours are Bengali and Chinese and I know that they love
the lights - the children will always point them out when they
walk past.'
