Post Office staff are celebrating after scooping an award.

Durrington Post Office has been awarded the title of "best sellers" in the London and South-East region in a Best Post Office awards scheme.

Post Office head of area Drew McBride said: "The staff at Durrington have been recognised for their creative and proactive approach in driving up sales."

The winning branch, in Salvington Road, Worthing, was yesterday presented with a wall plaque and £250 in vouchers to be shared among employees.

Staff will now go forward to the national finals to find which Post Office branches are the 'best sellers' in the UK.

Two national prizes of £500 are up for grabs.

Staff will hear in October if they have been named a national winner.
