Green Light to Work
Green Light to Work
is a service designed to help unemployed people living in Northumberland who have secured a job or tyraining offer but cannot take it up because they do not hve their own vehicle and there is no public transport to get them there.
Green Light to Work is funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government via Northumberland County Council's Working Neighbourhoods Fund. The service offers advice on travel planning for unemployed people living in Northumberland seeking work and arranges affordable loans of scooters and cars for eligible applicants.
You could qualify for a vehicle if.......
* You do not own or have access to a vehicle
* You have a confirmed offer of employment or training
* You live in an area without public transport provision, e.g. buses or trainins, to take you to and from your prospective place of employment.
* You live in an area served by public transport but where the timetables do not match working hours of a job offered,for example night shift work.
How It Works
You will be invited to meet one of our advisors who will conduct a travel planning assessment with you. This includes looking at where you live, what public transport services are available and what job or training offer you have received. If you meet the eligibility criteria and no other form of transport is available, you may be offered either a 50cc scooter or a car.
