A BIG-HEARTED town cabbie has taken to the streets of the Spa to spread a little Christmas cheer.

NY Taxis boss Paul Williams will be dressed up all this week, giving presents to passengers and collecting cash for worthy causes.

Paul told the Advertiser: "Every good little girl and boy will get a present in the run-up to Christmas day.

"This is something I like to do every year using any money left over from the NY Appeal."

Paul collects cash all year round for the NY Appeal, using the money to brighten up the lives of needy town folk.
