SHOP workers have rallied round to help their community.
The One Stop shop in Wivenhoe won the company's best customer satisfaction of the year award.
Twelve managers from across Essex pitched in to help make Wivenhoe a brighter, cleaner place to live.
They tended to flowerbeds and allotments and also mowed grass and cleared pathways.
A new communal area was dug over and prepared for grass seed.
Shaun Boughton, Wivenhoe Town Cllr, said: “All in all it was a great community day with the help of Wivenhoe businesses.
"It was successful day all round. The team have offered to come back again.”
