JOBS are being created in the region by a North-East bus operator.

Go North-East is creating 20 jobs in Peterlee, County Durham, with potentially more on the way, as it expands its operations by moving to a local base at the end of the month.

The site, on Peterlee’s North West Industrial Estate, will become Go North-East’s centre of operations for its Durham bus fleet and the company is keen to recruit local drivers.

Go North-East divisional manager Phil Southall said: “We want more local people who really know the area to come forward for the jobs.”
