Mole, the secretary of the council, said ves- ' terday that a van was being . converted because the council was unable to obtain one of the mini-buses used during the Commonwealth Games. “We would very much like to purchase more buses hut we will need some more finance.

He hopes that help will come from some service associations and businesses.
