Volunteer driver 'abandoned' by council cutspublished at 15:25 British Summer Time 31 May 2019
East Midlands TodayA volunteer driver is questioning why his services are no longer needed by Nottingham City Council.
Alan Campbell has been driving people around for 15 years - but now the council is letting its social services volunteer drivers go.
Mr Campbell told the BBC he feels "abandoned and unworthy" now one of his main purposes in life has been taken away from him.
He said: "I can only think it has something to do with finances but of course whoever transports these children or vulnerable adults in the future, there will be costs involved, so I cannot see how there will be any fiscal advantage."
Nottingham City Council has suggested Mr Campbell uses his volunteering services to the library service instead.
In a statement it said: "Regrettably, we can no longer afford to run this service.
"We've had fewer people coming forward to support the service and the number of volunteers has fallen steadily over the years."
It added that people needing a lift would still be able to organise one using their personal budget.
