Lodged by Jim Fairlie (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 24 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends the volunteer-led Glenfarg Transport Group for launching a weekly bus service that provides transport for rural and elderly residents in response to withdrawals of Stagecoach bus services in the village of Glenfarg; notes that the bus will run every Thursday through the back roads and making stops along the way from the village to Glenfarg Community Centre, allowing people opportunities to socialise, visit the library and shops in Kinross; understands that the group has raised £10,000 to buy its own 16-seater bus thanks to grants from Perth and Kinross Council, the Robertson Trust and the local community, and is aiming to raise £30,000 in total and to expand the services to include a second event each week, as well as trips to Perth and further afield; further understands that the project has charitable status and nine volunteer drivers; congratulates Glenfarg Community Transport Group for its thriving community project, and wishes all involved every success in their fundraising efforts and future plans.
