A ROADSHOW with tips on enjoying a healthy Christmas will be in action next week.

The Hambleton District Council campaign will be visiting four towns to hand out advice to shoppers.

Cabinet spokesman on environmental health, Councillor Arthur Barker, said: "We are not trying to be killjoys, but we do want to ensure that everyone in Hambleton has a safe, healthy and happy Christmas and New Year.

"Catering for large numbers can be a challenge in domestic kitchens. Our roadshows are aiming to ensure that everything goes without a hitch."

The roadshow visits Thirsk on Monday, from 10am to 1pm; Bedale on Tuesday, from 10am to 1pm; Northallerton on Wednesday, from 10am to noon; and Easingwold on Friday, from 10am to 1pm.
