The green light has been given for a plan to connect communities and improve public transport across North Ayrshire after councillors agreed to splash some cash.
North Ayrshire Council put through a £100,000 scheme in the budget for a community transport pilot to help people who are cut off or suffer from isolation.
Depute council leader Shaun Macaulay said: “When we came into administration, one of our priorities was about listening to communities and strengthening our relationship with them and time and time again and time again they have told us transport is an issue for them.
