Description
The Christmas cheer has finally returned to Franklin Road, and the famous light show will be switched on again tonight. It's a hallmark of Auckland's festive season but the lights have been out for the last two Christmases because of Covid. That means the return of maybe the most festive street in the country has been hotly anticipated. Checkpoint reporter Louise Ternouth is live at Franklin Road.
