VOLUNTEERS from the Kinver Community Bus group have issued an urgent appeal for new drivers.

The bus service has provided a vital transport link around the village for the past 20 years, relying on donations and voluntary drivers to stay on the road.

New staff are needed for the Wednesday morning service from Kinver to Stourton following the retirement of the current driver.

Volunteers must be aged between 25 and 70, hold a clean driving licence and be available from 8.30am to 12.30pm on Wednesdays.

For more information call Margaret Rogers on 01384 872073.
