Arrangements.
The village will be closed to all traffic between 1.45 P.M. And 4.00 P.M. approximately.
“We would ask residents who live in Church Street, Town Road, Station Road and Westhead Road, if you would help on the day by moving your cars to allow the procession to move through the village, without causing any problems. We appreciate that this is not easy in our village but we would be extremely grateful for your co-operation”.
The day will begin with a short service in St Michael and all Angels Church at 1.30 P.M.
The procession will leave Church Street / Town Road at 2.10 P.M. and end at Croston Park at approximately 3.40 P.M.
The procession will proceed along Town Road and Station Road to the Railway Station returning along Station Road, Westhead Road to Riverside Crescent, where a short break will be held, during which a hymn will be sung and the children will be provided with refreshments. The procession will then return along Westhead Road and Town Road.
Eccleston and the Croston Scout Band will again be supporting the procession.
There will be two decorated lorries’ for small children to ride on. These will be parked near the War Memorial prior to the start of the procession. Please note for safety reasons, children will only be allowed to get on and off the lorries’ when they are stationery and parents are requested to contact a lorry steward before placing or removing a child from a lorry.
