A PARISH council has thanked dozens of runners for raising money for a community project.

Tollesbury Parish Council held its five-mile fun run last week to raise money towards a play equipment upgrade project.

The 80 entrants managed to raise £644 towards the goal.

A council spokesman said: “Thank you everyone who took part, baked cakes, marshalled, helped set up, and came out to support the event. You are all amazing.”
