COLCHESTER’S mayor and deputy mayor are going head to head in a treasure hunt to seek out food for the town’s food bank.

Theresa Higgins and Julie Young will go against the clock as they search for items people can donate to the charity in Tesco’s Highwoods store on Friday.

Other councillors will be posted around the store to cheer them on and point them in the right direction.

Volunteers from the charity will also be there, asking shoppers to donate items throughout the day.
