Credit: SWNS <br /><br />Red-faced residents have slammed their town's "skinny beanstalk" of a Christmas tree.<br /><br />Locals in Willenhall, West Mids., are furious that their festive display hasn't been decorated with tinsel or baubles and has just a string of lights dangling from a few branches.<br /><br />The spindly 20ft tree was put on the Lock Worker’s Memorial by a busy junction next to an off-licence and a line of takeaways.<br /><br />It was installed late last month by Walsall Council, but it appears to be lacking some Christmas sparkle.<br /><br />The "pathetic" attempt at the Christmas tree has infuriated locals, who say it makes residents in the town look like scrooges.
