PLEASE NOTE - Due to the weather conditions, there will be no collectors going out this evening. However, the current plan is for the Sleigh to still tour the route.

Thursday night's route for Santa's Sleigh is from Pennine Road and down Fernhead Avenue.
HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT RISK THAT PENNINE ROAD AND/OR STREETS OFF MAY HAVE TO BE MISSED IF IT IS TOO ICY FOR THE SLEIGH AND HELPERS.
