Community transport provider receives grant for new vehicles

A community transport service which provides a lifeline to its users is expanding its fleet thanks to funding from West Northamptonshire Council.
Towcester-based Ability was awarded a £477,181 grant by the Council, out of the Government’s Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF) and UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).
The community transport provider has used the money to buy four new minibuses, increasing the size of its fleet to 14 vehicles and allowing the service to reach even more people and places across the West Northamptonshire area.
