A town that slagged off its wonky council Christmas tree has "learned to love it" after likening it to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.<\/p>\n

Residents of March, Cambridgeshire didn't hold back from sharing their opinions about the 30ft tree \u2013 or blaming the volunteers responsible for its allegedly haphazard installation.<\/p>\n

One resident took to Facebook to comment: "This looks like it's been plonked down without too much care!<\/p>\n

"I honestly don't like to moan and I am quite aware trees grow in different shapes and sizes \u2013 but just feel like if a job is worth doing it should be done properly".<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But Councillor Martin Field claims that the town's residents have now been won over in a dramatic u-turn, and now see the tree as "quirky".<\/p>\n

Councilor Field told Sky News: "I think when people actually see it in person, like when a thousand people came to our Christmas light switch on and really enjoyed the event, they saw it all light up and all the coverage the media has given of it, they have learned to love it. <\/p>\n

"They see it as quirky, and funny, very much like the people of March themselves."<\/p>\n

After it was erected, volunteers from the March Christmas Lights Committee conceded reception was "mixed" and that they hadn't managed to inspect the tree in person before making the purchase. <\/p>\n
