Johnstone and Area Community Transport announced that it will no longer be able to operate services three and nine after "rising costs and cash flow problems".

The company officially entered liquidation on Monday after director John McBarron announced the news on Facebook.

Having operated as a non-profit firm, the company had been supported by Renfrewshire Council as well as receiving cash from the National Lottery fund.

John described the move as one with “great sadness” after he revealed he had worked a year without pay.

In a statement, the director said: “It is with great sadness that an agent has been appointed for the liquidation of our small company.
