New £36,000 minibus is launched

A new £36,000 community bus will hit the roads of Cumbria for the first time on Monday.

The Ambleside service has been funded by Cumbria County Council's South Lakes local committee and Cumbria Sure Start.

It will also be available for use by the new Lakes Children's Centre and other local community groups.

The bus will be operated by Community Transport South Lakeland, which provides affordable and accessible transport to community groups.
