Neil Gray MSP has welcomed the Scottish Government giving power to North Lanarkshire Council to run bus services in his Airdrie & Shotts constituency.
Powers from the Transport (Scotland) Act will now be utilised and allow councils across Scotland to run bus services in local communities as they see fit.
When the Act was developed, local authorities asked for the ability to run their own services to be included and the Scottish Government has reacted to that request by allowing them to do so, if they wish.
