Charity minibus targeted by vandals in Ilford

04/10/2011 By Tracy Wilcox Leave a Comment

A charity minibus has been completely vandalised with every single window being destroyed in what the charity workers have branded a mindless act.

The minibus is estimated to have been worth £40,000 as it was specially adapted in order to transport children and adults with learning difficulties. Now the vehicle is a ruin, with every window shattered to pieces, and damage sustained to the bonnet, window frames, and front headlights. The minibus had to be towed away on a recovery vehicle to undergo extensive repairs.

A shopkeeper reported the incident which occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning when he witnessed people running away from the scene. It is the second time the charity minibus has come under attack this year as in June, the minibus’s catalytic converter was stolen while it was parked outside of a day centre.

The incident occurred two days after the minibus had been moved from its usual parking spot outside a residential home to a position behind the charity’s head quarters. The charity say they will be looking for a new and safer spot in which to keep the minibus after its repaired as they fear it would be targeted again, or worse, set alight, should they return it to the same position.

The police are urging anyone with information regarding the vandalism attack on the charity minibus in Ilford to get in touch.

Minibus shopper service plans for Wrexham town centre

26/09/2011 By Louise Williams Leave a Comment

In recent proposals put forward by Wrexham Town Council, shoppers may soon be able to benefit from a new shuttle bus service which will operate on a circular route around the busiest shopping areas in the town.

The plans are still in the development stage, however if the new proposal gets the green light, Wrexham will be welcoming a new minibus service which officials hope will bring a much needed boost to traders in the town who have been struggling with the effects of the economic downturn.

The council is currently in the process of contacting potential minibus hire providers with a view to getting this project off the ground. It’s been reported that passengers will have to pay a nominal fare to travel on the circular town centre route, although the cost of travel will not be “significant” say officials.

The minibus service would operate on a circular route, dropping passengers off at convenient stops along the route.

The minibus scheme is part of a number of initiatives being put forward by the town council to help encourage locals into the town’s shops to keep the centre alive. A pilot scheme offering free parking at selected town centre car parks between 12 noon and 2pm, is another strategy being set up to tempt more shoppers into Wrexham town centre.

Oldest ever coach driver passes away

11/03/2011 By Louise Williams Leave a Comment

Ken Perry was named in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest ever coach driver in 2001 as at 82-years of age, he was still regularly driving coaches as part of his private coach hire business, K Perry and Sons.

The businessman sadly passed away at the end of last month at the age of 92, although he still holds the record for being the oldest ever coach driver in the country.

Mr Perry’s legacy will be kept alive as his son, Bernard, and grandson Richard, will continue to run the coach hire company which he worked so hard to build.

Despite retiring shortly after achieving the Guinness Book of Records title for oldest ever bus driver, Mr Perry was still a very important part of the business. Living in a house next door to the coach depot yard, the businessman had a window especially installed in the side of his home so he could keep an eye on what was going on at the coach company.

Born in the Rhondda, Mr Perry moved with his family to Blackwood as a youngster before going to work at a local colliery at the age of 14. In 1940, what would later become the thriving coach hire business that is K Perry and Sons, Mr Perry and his wife launched a small scale taxi service, firstly delivering milk to local schools. As the business started to take off, Mr Perry invested in more vehicles, and purchased land and garages creating a formal base for the company.

K Perry and Sons now operates regular coach hire services for local schools in the Blackwood area, as well as providing coach hire for private customers. The company boasts 10 coaches, with 12 employees.

The funeral for the highly regarded coach hire boss was held at the end of February. The news was first reported by The South Wales Argus.

Lottery fund donates £10k for Exeter charity’s new minibus

08/03/2011 By Andrew Morgan Leave a Comment

The Lottery has donated £10,000 to the Crediton and District Community Transport Company to provide the charity with the funds to purchase a new minibus complete with wheelchair access facilities.

The money will mean the charity will be able to provide a reliable transport service for those with mobility issues living in the Exeter area. The charity feared their service would be hit hard as a result of the Government spending cut and that this would have a negative impact on the service they provide in the community, however with the news that the Lottery grant will donate £10,000 to the fund, the charity believes their work will now be safeguarded for the time being.

The new minibus will be fully equipped with extra wide doors and electronic ramp to allow wheelchair users to access the vehicle easily. The charity provides a very important service for those with mobility problems as it means these individuals have the freedom to get out and about and be independent thanks to the service provided by the Crediton and District Community Transport Company.

The money was donated as part of the The Big Lottery fund’s Awards for All programme which offers grants for between £300 – £10,000 to projects which will benefit the local community.
