CHRISTMAS has come early for one Bromsgrove household which is raising cash for a good cause.

Norman Clarke has transformed the outside of his Wrekin Drive, Lowes Hill, home into a winter wonderland with thousands of twinkling lights and festive features.

It has taken him about a month to decorate his house, which will raise money for the County Air Ambulance.

Norman said: "I have been decorating the house for years but it is only for the past few years I have raised cash through it for the Air Ambulance.

"I have collecting boxes outside the house so people walking by and driving past in their cars can leave a donation."

New features this year include a helicopter Norman has made and an eight foot Father Christmas on the front lawn.
