A Christmas lights show has been left abandoned in Crystal Palace Park as its organisers went into administration.Pictures on social media show deflated snowmen, toppled structures and ripped decorations strewn across the park.
The decorations from the event, which ran from 19 November to 2 January, were due to be taken down by Lightopia last week.A resident described the south-east London park as looking like "an abandoned circus", while one woman told the BBC: "I've seen someone going around the park and spray-painting very dangerous camouflage metal stakes so no-one accidentally steps on them.
"My dog had all his skin taken off his front leg because of the exposed wires. We have had to pay £1,300 worth of vets' bills to get his leg sewn back up. This accident was completely avoidable."Lightopia, which was forced to shut over a weekend in November after cracks in floodlights were deemed unsafe, described itself as "London's finest festival of lights".
William LoSasso, chief executive of Crystal Palace Park Trust, said he was "dismayed to learn that Outreach Creative was entering administration immediately prior to the fulfilment of their responsibilities to vacate the park".
