Residents of Sunny Bower received a welcome visit from Santa on Wednesday evening thanks to the efforts of the Sunny Bower Community Group.

Iain Sykes, the Community Group Chairman and Conservative candidate for Little Harwood & Whitebirk, contacted Blackburn Round Table and asked them to include Sunny Bower in their schedule for Santa's Sleigh. Despite having already planned their sleigh routes the Round Table were only too happy to help and found space for Sunny Bower in their schedule.

Iain said "We would like to thank Blackburn Round Table for making the additional effort to visit Sunny Bower. The evening was a great success. The kids loved it and we hope they will be able to welcome Santa and his sleigh back to Sunny Bower next Christmas!"
