WORKERS from a fast food chain helped spruce up their local area by taking part in a massive litter pick.

Staff from the Pitsea McDonald’s restaurant, in the Pitsea Retail Park, just off the A13, teamed up to tackle litter issues around the takeaway.

Around 20 members of staff and volunteers got their hands dirty. The clean-up drive is in support of Keep Britain Tidy’s ‘Love Where You Live’ campaign.
