Youth Service receive transport boost

Denbighshire Youth Service has taken delivery of a new transport addition to help better support outdoor activities.

Open to everyone aged 11 to 25 years, the youth service offers social activities and opportunities indoors and outdoors to develop interests as well as help and support for anyone that needs it.

The Council’s Fleet Service has procured a new minibus to help the service run its programme of events for youngsters across Denbighshire.

Replacing an end of live 2011 plate vehicle, the new Ford Transit minibus with capacity for up to 16 passengers has been selected to help serve between Youth Service clubs across the county.

The diesel-powered vehicle was also appropriately chosen due to the workload it will be tackling across the county.

Fleet Service’s inhouse design and livery officer helped produce the look for the new addition to match the vibrant branding of the Denbighshire Youth Service.

Councillor Diane King, Lead Member for Education, Children and Families, said: “The Youth Service provides invaluable opportunities for young people across Denbighshire to learn new skills, build confidence and make positive connections. This new minibus will help ensure even more young people can access activities, events and support, regardless of where they live in the county. It is a fantastic investment in our young people and the future of the service.”

Cllr Barry Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport, said: “We know how important transport is to drive this fantastic support for our youngsters across the county. We are grateful for our fleet officers for sorting this replacement transport which highlights the vibrance of Denbighshire Youth Service.”
