Timings for the Christmas Eve tractor run through Saddleworth

AN EYE-CATCHING trail of tractors of all colours, sizes and covered in festive decorations will take part in a charity event on Christmas Eve.

The popular annual run, organised by Saddleworth Tractor Group will pass through Saddleworth’s villages, raising money for Oldham Roundthorn Salvation Army and Oldham Foodbank.

A spokesperson for the group said: “I think you will all agree these are more than worthy causes and both are crucial to our community.
