Councillor Steve Nelson, Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Health, Leisure and Culture, said: “Santa on Wheels has been a hugely popular addition to our events programme for the last couple of years, and we hope everyone is as excited as we are to see it return this Christmas.
Will the UK get snow this winter?
“Santa will be on a strict schedule to reach as many streets as possible on his four-night tour, so unfortunately he won’t be able to stop.
“Santa and his trusty elves will be waving to everyone as they pass. Why don’t you come out and give them a cheer?
“Make sure you check the routes and location tracker each night before they set off so that you don’t miss the big man and his helpers.”
