Huddersfield
Greens are marking 20 years of the volunteer buses they have been running over
the Christmas Holidays since 1992. Councillor Andrew Cooper who is a volunteer
driver said,
“I
remember the first one we ran in 1992 which we ran as a protest against the
removal of services over the holiday period. Since then some services have been
resumed in some areas in recent years on Boxing Day”
As
well as Andrew Cooper, Kirkburton Ward Kirklees Councillors Derek Hardcastle and
Robert Barraclough will also be volunteer drivers of the Green Party
Minibus
Councillor
Derek Hardcastle said of the service,
“I
really enjoy doing the bus service each year and it is now very much part of my
Christmas holiday routine. At this time of year when there are limited public
transport services taxi journeys can be expensive particularly from rural
villages so people who use the minibus we operate really do value
it.”
We
will put timetables on bus stops and in local shops so people are aware of our
schedule. The service is free to use but donations are always welcome. A copy of
our timetable is below.
