RESIDENTS and Thurrock Ukip councillors teamed up to help tidy a garden.

The garden in Canberra Square is in memory of Budddy Goyette.

The litter was cleared and work was started on gardening the middle of the park.

John Allen Ukip councillor for Tilbury St Chads said: “Buddy gave so much to the community and he was very well respected.

“It is only right that we carry on that respect in his honour. I would like to thank the residents who came out to help."
