ST TEATH'S former community bus is to make its last trip from Cornwall in order to help a community in Kosovo.

No offers had been received to purchase the old bus when suddenly fate started to take a hand.

Bob Fox, treasurer of the St Teath Community Bus group, explained: "We learned that the Overseas Project Team of Rotary District 1290 (Cornwall, Plymouth and West Devon) had just started looking for a mini bus that could be taken to the Republic of Kosovo where it would act as a lifeline to patients requiring transport to distant hospitals for dialysis treatment.

"Rotary has been assisting in this area of Kosovo for a number of years by delivering among other things fire engines, ambulances, training mechanics to keep aging vehicles going and by working to deliver essential supplies to schools and hospitals."
