CHESTER landmarks will be lit up green throughout February in support of Clatterbridge Cancer Charity.

Next month the charity, which provides cancer care for people across Cheshire and Merseyside, will be running its annual 'Let's Go Green' annual fundraising campaign.

Chester Town Hall, the Eastgate Clock and Newgate Bridge will be illuminated in green to help raise awareness of the campaign.

Cheshire West and Chester Council's deputy leader Karen Shore said: “I’m delighted our street lighting team has been able to help the council support this worthy cause.

"We are able to add landmarks in Cheshire West to the list of locations across Merseyside and Cheshire that will raise awareness and help raise much-needed funds for the vital local charity.”

The centre’s partnerships manager Danielle Carney added: “It’s great that Cheshire West and Chester Council is able to support our campaign.

"Our usual Go Green week is a whole month this year in celebration of the charity turning 25. It’s been a difficult year, but also a landmark one for the hospital in which we opened the doors to Liverpool’s very first cancer hospital."
