A MOBILE home repair van will soon be taking to the road in support of Burnham's senior citizens, thanks to a cash injection from the Big Lottery Fund.

A grant means the Somerset Coast Home Improvement Programme will be able to expand its successful operations into Sedgemoor, offering repairs and adaptations for people over 60.

The Fix It' team will carry out minor jobs around the home and also provide assistance with hospital discharges.
