Councillor Andrew Cooper driving the Greens Volunteer Minibus

The Green Party will be running a free volunteer Bus Service on New Year’s Day for the 23^rd consecutive year. The first service was run in the early 90s when Bus Services were drastically reduced over the festive period. This year we will be running on the route of the 319 service and timetables will be placed in local shops and on bus stops.

This follows on from the Boxing Day Bus Service Green Councillor Robert Barraclough and Derek Hardcastle ran from Flockton/Grange Moor into Huddersfield Town Centre which attracted over 50 passengers.

 Newsome Green Party Councillor Andrew Cooper said,

“We are continuing to offer people a way of getting out and about without having to use a car or pay expensive taxi fares. The service not only links the communities of Newsome , Taylor Hill and Berry Brow with town but also with Huddersfield Royal Infirmary for people visiting” relatives and friends.”

The Newsome Bus Service starts at 11.00a.m and runs for 7 hours allowing people to go to Town do their shopping, visit friends and loved ones in Huddersfield Royal Infirmary or just to simply to go for a festive pint in the Town Centre.
