Nottinghamshire developments at the top of Santa’s List thanks to local housebuilders

Barratt and David Wilson Homes, which are building new developments in the county, have written to Mr Claus to make sure he stops by the new homes this festive season.

The five-star housebuilders are pulling out the stops to ensure Santa is aware of their developments and that the new communities receive a visit.

Martyn Parker, Sales Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes, said: “While Father Christmas and his elves wrap the final presents, we’re doing our part to ensure our new communities receive their well-deserved gifts.

“We’ve taken thorough steps to guide Santa this Christmas, and after meeting many of the children who have moved into our new homes, we’re confident they’ve secured a spot on Santa’s ‘nice’ list.”

Families can track Santa and his reindeer on Christmas Eve using NORAD. According to NORAD, Santa’s route changes each year, but he usually starts at the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean and travels west.

To help ensure Santa stops by, families can leave out mince pies and sherry before heading to bed on Christmas Eve.
