Santa set on his way with help from local cab company

SANTA'S LITTLE HELPERS: Simon Moss and fellow Lions
receive the donation from John Kington of TC Cars

SANTA has struck a deal with a local taxi firm to complete his rounds in North Solihull.
Marston Green & District Lions announced this week that their partnership with TC Cars will be renewed for the third year running, with the private hire company once again lending a cab for the traditional sleigh routes.
As well as loaning the Lions the vehicle, the firm has made a £500 donation for the good causes that the annual tour of local roads supports.
Simon Moss, president of the branch, said: "The generosity of local people and businesses never ceases to amaze me. The vehicle alone is essential for our Christmas activities and will help us raise around £3,000.
"The donation from TC Cars is the icing, and the marzipan, on the cake and we cannot thank them enough."
The sleigh will be travelling the streets of Marston Green and Chelmsley Wood from December 12-20. Full details of the timetable will be posted next month.
