THERE were lots of smiling faces in Grays town centre on Saturday (June 14) when Diversity stars Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely turned up to show their support for Beat the Street Thurrock.
The dance troupe duo left their fast moves behind to sign around 200 Beat Box cards and maps for waiting fans.
Beat the Street Thurrock aims to get local people walking a combined total of 25,000 miles in seven weeks – the distance around the world. Over 1500 have already registered and walked thousands of miles.
The new Mayor of Thurrock, Cllr Steve Liddiard, joined the enthusiastic crowd.
He said: “I’m really proud that local people have taken Beat the Street to their hearts. Activity is crucial to good health and this game is proving how much fun it can be. We are well on our way to hitting the target.”
