COMMUNITY groups in the Sedgefield borough area can now travel in style following the delivery of a new Carelink coach.

The Mayor of Sedgefield Borough, Councillor Marie Predki presented the keys to representatives of Carelink affiliated groups at the Cleves Cross Grange Sheltered Housing Scheme, in Ferryhill.

About 200 groups throughout the borough will use the coach, which provides a valuable service to mainly older people or people with special needs.

The coach has modern facilities for transporting a number of wheelchair users and people with limited mobility and is in operation every day.

Each affiliated group benefits from two journeys a year to various destinations and events around the region.
