It's a wrap! Sandbach's famous Santa sleigh has had a bit of a makeover

Eagle-eyed residents might have noticed that Sandbach's annual Santa sleigh currently doing the rounds in the town is a bit shinier!

And it's thanks to Ettiley Heath-based wrap and sign company, D9 Signs & Wrap ID who have kindly given the festive vehicle a new look.

A spokesperson from D9 Signs & Wrap ID based at The Counting House in Sandy Lane said: "Some stickers had started peeling off, the wrong sponsors were on so we gave it a new look.

"We tweaked the logo and donated our time and services free of charge. It's such a good cause and raises so much money for the community.

"I remember it as a child going round Sandbach and we want this wonderful tradition to continue."

Sandbach Ladies Circle, who co-ordinate and organise the mammoth task of running the Christmas float, have set up a Facebook page here so residents know when it's visiting their area.

The Santa sleigh route is funded by a tombola stall held at the Sandbach Makers Market and the sleigh's scout car received a new sound system.

Christmas carols filled the air for 13 days from December 1st until December 13th.

"Last year, in total, the sleigh raised just over £4000 which was distributed among the supporting organisations and will be used by Sandbach Ladies Club to deliver future charitable community activities.

"We want to say a huge thank you to D9 Signs & Wrap ID who have done amazing job giving the sleigh a well needed facelift."
