THE Christmas Lights Trail is back on in the CBD with half a million lights and 500 decorations ‚Äì and city visitors are booming. Lord mayor Basil Zempilas says the lights have brought 36 per cent more people in the city compared to 2020. Mr Zempilas said the city’s often held up as a rival to suburban shopping centres, but he said the traffic’s so bad at some of those centres they’re having to give out Uber vouchers to deter people from driving, while he reckons “city centre parking is problem free”.
