Shaun Macaulay has hailed North Ayrshire community groups for helping highlight transport needs as it was revealed the council is motoring ahead with a new summer service.
As part of a new community transport pilot, a summer service offering shopping excursions and trips around the coast will be run this summer in conjunction with Coalfield Community Transport.
Council depute leader Macaulay said at cabinet on Tuesday: “This has been a long time coming. I was delighted to see this paper coming forward given the amount of times I have seen transport talked about at community engagement sessions.
