Father Christmas is Coming!
(Thursday 01 December 2011)
It's that time of year again! Have a look at the dates below to see when Father Christmas will be visiting a street near you. If he isn’t able to visit your road this year you can always come and see him at Norfolk Square on Saturday the 17th.
While Father Christmas is renowned for giving out presents, this year he’ll also take away some of your rubbish too. If you have used printer cartridges or old mobile phones you no longer need please pass them on to Father Christmas (or one of his helpers) when you see him, and he'll have them turned into cash to help the team.
