CONCERNS about transport services for older people in Darlington are to be addressed under a new initiative.
Representatives from the Growing Older Living in Darlington (Gold) group have held talks with the council's transport policy section to ensure transport issues for older people will be considered.
The group will meet regularly with council officers, and members also hope to talk with Euro-MP Stephen Hughes to discuss additional funding to assist their plans.
The group wants to hear opinions from older people in the town on their experiences with transport, including bus services, parking facilities and the level of need for more information on services.
Gold will raise any concerns with council officials and transport providers and make recommendations as to how they should be tackled.
Gold can be contacted on (01325) 482300.
