The holidays are NOT coming to Bradford

The holidays are coming, but perhaps not for Bradford.

The bright red Coca Cola Christmas truck, famous from TV ads, will not be making a stop in Bradford this year.

The truck first rolled into the city in 2013 when it parked in front of City Hall, with Coca Cola staff handing out free drinks and giving the opportunity for selfies.

Councillor Jeanette Sunderland has previously boycotted the visit, arguing the city should not play host to a marketing campaign from a soft drinks manufacturer at a time when there is a "public health battle".

The company posted its tour dates and has this year missed off the Bradford district entirely.
