Residents of Southport are used to feeling snubbed by Bootle and a Sefton Council but the latest blow is one that has sparked fury among die hard ‘Southport Out Of Sefton Campaigners.’
The official Sefton Council Facebook page this week revealed Santa Clause has only visited Bootle in his journey to collect parcels and presents for disadvantaged children.
The council declined to say if Santa would be visiting Southport Town Hall and campaigners are said to be furious at the festive snub.
One campaigner, James Walker, jokingly emailed OTS News to say “All the money, infrastructure, support and decisions go to Bootle and we never get a look in.”
“But now even Sefton’s Santa doesn’t want to acknowledge Southport exists. It’s shocking that we have been snubbed by the jolly fat man.
“The sooner we leave Sefton and rejoin Lancashire and their Santa the better.”
