That the Parliament recognises the outstanding community transport service delivered By Larkhall District Volunteer Group (LDVG); commends LDVG on its commitment to providing the local community with a much needed lifeline through its community transport service, which provides a shopping bus, wellbeing trips, a community car and lunch club runs three days a week; acknowledges that without this service many older people in the Larkhall community would face isolation, loneliness and be unable to attend vital medical appointments; notes that LDVG is a member of the Community Transport Association, which is a national charity and membership organisation representing community transport operators across Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland; further notes that the Community Transport Association represents 216 members that deliver services across Scotland, covering a variety of transport modes, from volunteer car schemes to dial-a-bus services, and commends the volunteers at LDVG on the care and commitment shown to the service and its users.
