00:00A popular Santa float that runs through Bath, Somerset and Bristol has been cancelled this
00:07Christmas. The organisers of the Santa's Christmas float say it will not take place
00:13this December for what would have been its fifth year in the city. The float raises money
00:19for charities, including more than £15,000 for Suicide Prevention UK, but in a statement
00:27on Facebook, the organisers of the Santa's float said, there is too much red tape to
00:33carry on. 2023 saw two floats come through the city of Bristol. The first was the original
00:42Santa's float which raised money for Wallace and Gromit's Grand Appeal and Time is Precious
00:47and Santa's float 2023 which raised funds for Suicide Prevention Bristol. But 2024 will
00:54see no Santa's floats this Christmas in Bristol.
