A COMMUNITY bus service has started a medical transport scheme thanks to a £10,000 council grant.
The Little Green Bus, which celebrates its 10th birthday at Christmas, will now take and accompany elderly and vulnerable residents to medical and hospital appointments.
The new scheme is supported by a £10,000 grant from Ribble Valley Council.
Little Green Bus manager Donna Atkinson said: “Our newest project means elderly or vulnerable residents can be transported and chaperoned to medical or hospital appointments ensuring they get there safely and on time."
Ribble Valley Mayor Stuart Carefoot said: “We are delighted to support the Little Green Bus, which is a vital lifeline in a large rural community, where many elderly and vulnerable residents live in isolation.”
