RESIDNETS on the Kenningtons Estate in Aveley were treated from a visit from Santa last night (Friday, 17 December)

It was the latest leg of the tour of the west of Thurrock by the Rotary Club of Mar Dyke Valley's Christmas Sleigh. They have been out and about for the past week or so collecting money for local good causes.

Last night they were joined by volunteers from Thurrock Re-engage, whose co-ordinator Loraine Coleman said: "What a fabulous Christmassy evening Re-engage Thurrock volunteers had joining the Santa Run.

"A very special thank you to all the lovely families of Kenningtons Estate for their generosity tonight. Thank you so much to Santa's helpers this evening Mick, Clarissa, Paula, Davina, Leanne, Alexis and Olivia."
