Resident Kevin Broadbent came up with the idea when he spotted three village courtesy cars and he rallied together a few willing drivers.
“I immediately thought what a fantastic service to be able to offer non-driving residents, " he said.
"As retirees we’re often looking for things to do, so it’s a way we can use our free time to help others and, while my wife and I are still happily driving, we know there may come a time when we may need this service, too.”
The drivers will take residents to their appointments, wait while they are being seen, and drive them back to the village.
If you could ask any historical figure one question, who would it be and what would you ask?

Speaking on Radio NZ's Morning Report, Tourism Minister Stuart Nash said he planned to introduce regulations that ban the leasing or hiring out of vans that do not contain toilets to tourists.
“Gone are the days, as far as I am concerned, where you hire a cheap van that is not self-contained,” he said.
“We get all these vans driving around at the moment that are not self-contained, so if the driver or the passenger wants to go to the toilet – we all know examples of this – they pull over to the side of the road, and they s... in our waterways.”
