THE busy Christmas shopping season is upon us and while many enjoy the Yuletide rush and Christmas cheer, others find the increased number of people, sounds and lights overwhelming and stressful.

ONLY two of the four Parliamentary prospective candidates for North Wiltshire turned up at a husting at Malmesbury Abbey on Tuesday evening.

A DISHONEST receptionist who stole thousands of pounds from a Malmesbury pub has been given a community order.

THREE people have been arrested following a spate of purse thefts in Swindon and further afield.

The arrests came after a member of the public spotted CCTV images of a theft at Aldi in Swindon and called the police.

Black Friday is just days away and Morrisons is offering up a hearty breakfast to keep shoppers well fuelled during spending sprees.

SUPERMARKET Morrisons will sell boxes of food — including fruit and veg and also items from the bakery and deli — for £3.09 from today.

Christmas is a time for family, spending time together...and eating.

But regular motorists around town might argue a quick reminder wouldn’t hurt.

Up to 400 jobs could be at risk as more than 80 TSB branches across the country are set to close their doors next year, the bank announced in another blow to the UK high street.

IT'S the most wonderful time of the year.

And with the help of Royal Mail, you could make Christmas that extra bit more magical for your little ones.
