ALCESTER Scouts will have a busy December delivering Christmas cards and the town council's brand new newsletter and town guide.

The Scouts have already started delivering Alcester's Christmas post and the group is hoping to better last year's total of £712.

Collection boxes can be found at Somerfield, Dave's Fruit Shop, Hopkins Pharmacy, Ross Motors and Alcester Library, up until December 22.

The Scouts charge just 10p for delivery, which should be given with the letter.

No stamp is needed.

And this year, the Scouts will also be delivering the Alcester Town Council newsletter and town guide to about 3,500 homes.

The town council has decided to donate £500 to the Alcester youngsters for their efforts.
