Richmondshire
residents are being encouraged to travel by bus next week for
free!
Bus passes to use on the
district’s first ‘Car Free Day’ next Friday – April 1 – are still
available.
Bus companies Arriva, Dales
and District – as well as those run through the Little Red Bus
Community scheme – are each providing 20 free individual and family
passes. The passes will allow travel on all scheduled
services, as well as demand responsive services from Little Red
Bus.
‘Car Free Day’ is part of Richmondshire Eco
Week which is being organised for the first time by the Richmond
Local Strategic Partnership. Events will take place
throughout the week to highlight ways to save money on fuel and
energy - and cut carbon emissions. There will be
demonstrations of electric bikes and a fuel efficient driving
simulator to test.
And everyone taking part in
the day is being asked to complete a pledge form.
To apply for a bus pass log on to http://www.richmondshireecoweek.co.uk/

March 28.

April 3 – are available from http://www.richmondshireecoweek.co.uk/
