TO spare mums and dads a cold Christmas dinner St Helens Council is holding Santa’s Helpers workshops to show how best to tackle assembling bikes which are being given as gifts.

Anyone who thinks they may struggle to build a new bike from the pieces delivered in the box can benefit from a free lesson at the CETRA Community Centre, Pimblett Road, Haydock.

First you need to book your place by ringing the Road Safety Team on 01744 676789, or email cycling@sthelens.gov.uk.

You will need to bring along the bike to assemble it at sessions on December 10 and 17, from 6 to 8pm
