Newry, Mourne and Down district council's come under fire after a funding cut will mean no Christmas tree in Castlewellan.
It's understood festive funding there's been slashed by more than seventy-five per cent in two years.
Regeneration Limited's Eamonn O'Neill says the group's been left with two thousand pounds this Christmas.
He's calling for the council's chief executive to intervene.
