Santa Claus is all set to travel and David Wilson Homes is taking action to ensure its Leicestershire developments are on his radar.

Leading developer David Wilson Homes is building properties in Leicestershire, and has written to Mr Claus to make sure he stops by for a mince pie this festive season to ensure children who have moved to a new house are still on his list.

The five star housebuilder is now keen to make sure that Santa is fully aware of the new developments and that the communities get a visit.

Rachael Harrison, Sales Director at David Wilson Homes East Midlands, said: “It’s fantastic news that Santa Claus has been cleared to deliver presents around the world once more.

“We would like to reassure the children at our new developments and their parents that rigorous steps have been taken to notify Father Christmas about their new address.”

Santa will travel an estimated 510 million km on Christmas Eve, flying at around 10 million km per hour in order to make the 233 million stops on his list. Due to the speed at which the sleigh travels, Father Christmas will be at each household for a matter of minutes to drop off his sanitised gifts for youngsters.

His first stop is the Republic of Kiribati in the Pacific Ocean and, according to NORAD, which is running an online Santa tracker, he will make his way west around the world before arriving in the UK.

John added: “Santa has a packed schedule on December 24th and we’re pulling out all the stops to make sure our brand new homes are on his map. The developments have taken shape since he last flew over, with lots of new families living there, so Santa and his reindeer will have lots to see.”

David Wilson Homes currently has properties available to reserve at the following developments in the area: Fleckney Fields, David Wilson Homes at Kibworth, Wigston Meadows, Grange View, Burnmill Grange and New Lubbesthorpe.
