A WESTON-BASED group has been named Drug Team of the Year for the South West.

Views into Action were presented with the award from Home Office Minister Vernon Coaker.

The reward recognises unsung heroes who go beyond the call of duty to tackle drug use in communities.

Mr Coaker said: "Views into Action stood out for the remarkable work they are doing in their community."

The group runs a drug and alcohol-free cafe every Saturday evening and is staffed by volunteers.
