PEOPLE can send humorous Pendle Christmas cards to friends and family this year.

Pendle Partnership has launched limited edition cards featuring two Myths Over Pendle cartoon strips, drawn by Private Eye cartoonist Peter Rigg, who lives in Nelson.

Pendle Council leader and deputy chairman of Pendle Partnership, Coun Alan Davies, said: "We are the only area in the country to use gentle humour and a unique cartoon strip to help community understanding.

"At this fetsive time of year, I can't think of a better way to get these positive messages across."

The cards, available from Nelson, Brierfield and Colne Town Halls, and Barnoldswick and Earby Council Shops, are sold on a not-for-profit basis.
