Cameron backs Wheels to Work Scheme

Shropshire Community Council, pioneers of the industry’s Wheels To Work scheme, has been recognised with a Prime Minister’s Big Society award. Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Wheels To Work has helped over 2500 people get to work since it began loaning mopeds 16 years ago and was the catalyst for the national scheme since adopted by 35 other local authorities. 

Wheels to Work: Scheme gets award

Commenting on the award, David Cameron said: “Wheels To Work does a great job of tackling the basic issue of making sure everyone who needs to travel to a job is able to do so. This is an invaluable service, without which many of these young people would have to move away from their friends and families. It also helps young people to find employment and stay in the rural villages where they have grown up, which is important in maintaining these diverse and vibrant local communities.”

Cameron: 'You're doing a great job'
