The vehicle will have regular runs ferrying the elderly people to and from the Dunbeath Daycare Centre.  Outwith the regular runs, the vehicle is available for use within the local community and it is expected the Pre-school, school, youth, sports and any other community groups will make full use of vehicle.  Membership to the scheme costs �1 per person.  There is a charge of 15 pence per mile to any user to help cover the running costs.  Please make full use of the vehicle as it is a case of �USE IT OR LOSE IT�.
