A transport boost is helping support essential transport services across the region.

West Dunbartonshire has been awarded up to £30,000 in core funding from the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) to support community transport services.



The funding, confirmed at SPT’s operations committee, is part of more than £1.34 million allocated to 19 organisations across the west of Scotland.

It will help deliver essential services for older people, disabled residents and those on lower incomes who have limited access to mainstream transport.

Councillor Alan Moir, vice chair of SPT, said: "West Dunbartonshire has communities that stretch from the banks of the Clyde to more rural parts of the authority, and making sure people across that geography can get where they need to go is no small task.

"West Dunbartonshire Council Community Transport does important work in making that happen."
