AN MP has visited the administrators of a lift share scheme aimed at reducing congestion and promoting community spirit. Ripon MP Julian Smith visited Masham Community Offices to understand more about the Masham Liftshare scheme set up in partnership with North Yorkshire County Council to improve mobility for people of all ages in the area. It offers transport for trips through a free journey matching website. Mr Smith said: "It is a brilliant scheme that is fostering a better sense of community, and tackling problems associated with the rurality of our area."
