THE fundraising target has been reached and community hard work has paid off as the people of St Teath will now be able to travel comfortably in a new bus.

The achievement was marked as the snarl of a Spitfire overhead heralded the start of one of the most enjoyable and entertaining evenings ever held in the village.

Hosted by the St Teath Village Community Bus Association, the St Teath Blitz Night was a celebration to mark the closing of the Bus Renewal Fund which had been raising money for exactly one year. A new community bus has now been ordered and its delivery in early March is eagerly awaited.
