RESIDENTS of Kirkbymoorside may get a better bus service as a result of plans to convert buildings on the town's industrial estate.
Stephensons of Easingwold wants to change the use of buildings and storage sheds at Dove Way, Kirby Mills, into a coach operating centre.
The company told the councillors: "It will not be a bus station, but it will help create better bus services for Kirkbymoorside with links to services in York." It said the dep-ot would eliminate the need for buses to park in lay-bys.
Coun Tony Clark said there was some opposition to the venture, but he supported it because of the prospect of better services.
The scheme has been recommended for approval by Ryedale District Council.
