A NEW eco-town bus service starts this week in Whitehill and Bordon.

The bus, which has been paid for with eco-town funding, has been described as "much needed" and will offer a round-town service for residents.

The three new routes will service Whitehill and Bor-don and go out to the nearby villages, including Blac-kmoor, Greatham, Lindford and Standford.

The routes of the bus, which runs Monday to Saturday, are called the Green Route, Red Route and Blue Route.

All routes start and finish at Bordon's Forest Comm-unity Centre.
