As you may be aware, the frequency of the No. 65 Community Bus route has been reduced due to a lack of volunteer drivers. If you fancy driving a community bus and have a D1 on your licence, you will be welcome to have a trial to see if it’s for you. Call Kelly Bedoyan for more information at 07816 407495
