However, Freedom of Information (FOI) requests submitted by the LDRS show issues with money getting to where it was initially intended.

Weekends and Friday nights are the busiest, residents say, with hundreds of people expected to visit in the run-up to Christmas.Requests are made on social media to those coming along to park considerately - suggesting drivers use a nearby industrial estate, then walk 10 minutes down to Nayling Road.

"It gets manic," laughs Dawn Isaac, whose display includes an illuminated archway, icicles hanging off the roof and a multicoloured front fence."It's lovely to see, but it's better if people walk down because, obviously, being a cul-de-sac means there's one way in and one way out, and it gets rammed."Safety is also paramount, Mrs Isaac says. "We ask people to try and keep off the displays and our driveways, and be mindful of us pulling on to the driveway - because it is just a residential street and not a public display.

"We don't want to put a downer on it, but we've just got to make sure we're safe and secure with it all."For many of those visiting, the Nayling Road Christmas lights are a part of their annual traditions.

Stacey Newcombe remembers visiting with her family as a young child in the 1990s.

"There weren't as many houses that did it back then, but it was still worth going," she recalls. "My dad would drive us round in the car and it was magical.""We've parents contacting us asking to be shown around the school.

"And schools may not be in a position yet of contacting parents about things like induction days for their children."We were planning to give parents that information at the due time, but we're going to have to get on with it now."

"We'll cope with it but it's extra pressure."The Alliance assembly member, Michelle Guy, who is a member of Stormont's Education Committee, said that the EA "need to review how this has happened and ensure it doesn't happen again".
