BBC Inside Out West Midlands presenter Mary Rhodes handed over the keys of a brand new 17-seater minibus to Southam community minibus committee on Saturday.

The town has had a bus for 21 years, after Southam Lions identified a need for affordable transport for community groups. The bus is the first new vehicle since 1999.

Staff at Southam library administer the bookings and the bus is stationed at the Royal British Legion’s Galanos House care home. It is cleaned by Southam Venture Scouts.

Booking the minibus costs £40 a day. Call 814813.
