One major new development close to Christmas will be the introduction of a sleigh which will enable Father Christmas to make more frequent appearances around Market Drayton. Information on the locations and the routes where the sleigh can be seen will appear nearer the time.

Mike is an accountant at Highbury Poultry in Higher Heath, Whitchurch. He and his wife, Annette, have two sons.
