Volunteer drivers for Daisy Ring Bus C.I.C. can now benefit from free parking in Cowes, thanks to the support of Northwood House Charitable Trust Co Ltd.

Hovertravel has announced it will work in partnership with the newly formed Daisy Ring Bus Community Interest Company.

The Portsmouth Daisy Bus service, which transports Isle of Wight patients from the Southsea Hover terminal to QA Hospital, is set to move under new management.

The bus had been a lifeline, taking passengers directly from the Red Jet terminal and sparing immune-compromised patients the risks of using public transport.
