SHOPWORKERS at a Teesside department store have been singled out for praise for their treatment of disabled people.
Employees at Marks and Spencer's Wellington Square store, in Stockton, have been granted an award from a local blind charity.
The Ann Kallagher Award is for the provision of a blind-friendly environment.
Stockton Blind People's Voice said staff at the shop were always attentive to visually-impaired people, helping them with shopping and ensuring a taxi was called to take them home.
George Glass, chairman of the Stockton-based charity, said: "The staff at Marks and Spencer are superb and always helpful, nothing is a bother to them."
