AN AMBULANCE service hoping to buy four vehicles had its application for funding deferred by Darlington Borough Council's Cabinet.
Lieutenant Colonel Veitch, fundraising officer for St John Ambulance, which operates across County Durham, applied to the council for financial assistance to support its Wheels for Life appeal.
The appeal hopes to raise £250,000 to purchase four ambulances.
But the application did not specify how much money it hoped to receive from the council, so the cabinet deferred the application on Tuesday for more information to be obtained.
Council leader, Councillor John Williams, said it was unclear what use the ambulances would have in Darlington and how much funding St John Ambulance required.
The cabinet granted £250 to Darlington Coronary Support Group.
