THE South Essex College ice cream tour delivered free Rossi ice cream to the people of Thurrock and south Essex.

The Rossi van route included the College’s Grays town centre campus, as well as its sites in Basildon and Southend.

Other stops along the way included Blackshots Leisure Centre, in Thurrock.

Jade Withrington, events coordinator at the college, said: “It wasabrilliant day. Everyone loves getting something for free and it was nice to see people’s reactions.”

Regan Iley, a Year 11 student from Williams Edwards School in Grays, was skating at Blackshots park with his friends.

He said: “This tour is a good idea. I want to study art at South Essex College next year, it’s much more creative than other colleges.”

There’s still time to apply for a course to start this September.

Drop-in enrolment sessions are available.
