A DOUBLE decker bus, which provides much needed facilities for Ringwood youngsters, has been given a makeover thanks to a local company.

The BLD Group, a Ringwood-based motorcycle specialist, has helped to refurbish the distinctive pink and blue double decker WOTS (Word on the Street) charity bus.

The bus, which is packed full of the latest games consoles, entertainment equipment and gadgets, along with a smart kitchen and lounge area to chill in, is free for children to use during its scheduled visits.

And now, thanks to BLD’s top artist Dave Nichols, the bus has its own custom-designed sign and giant graphics for the side of the bus.

Len Doyle from WOTS said: “It’s great to have the support of a successful local business such as BLD.

We look forward to being seen in and around Ringwood over the coming months.”
