TRAVEL agent staff have launched their annual Easter egg collection and are hoping to beat the record set last year.

The appeal was launched at Co-operative Travel in Morrison’s on North Road, Darlington, today (Friday, February 22) and staff are urging customers to help them collect more than the record 200 eggs they received last year.

The eggs are donated to St Teresa’s Hospice and Darlington Children’s Services to be distributed and can be dropped off at the Co-operative Travel until March 24.
