A charity lifeline which helps scores of people in Budleigh Salterton and surrounding areas has been given a cash boost.
Budleigh Salterton Town Council on Monday agreed to hand a �1,250 grant to the Exmouth and District Community Transport Group.
In 2010, the town council awarded the charity �1,000.
This year’s increase was to reflect increasing fuel prices, the council said.
