Story
A TRUCK driver from Cirencester has bought a £3,000 yellow double decker bus in a bid to convert it into a safe place for homeless people.
Gerry Watkins, 54, launched the Big Yellow Bus Project in June, when he came up with the idea of sheltering the homeless in a double decker bus during the winter months.
Since then, he has raised enough money to purchase bus through various fundraising gigs across the region.
Gerry said: “I was overwhelmed by the sheer kindness of all the bands coming to support the project from miles around, not just in Cirencester but in Swindon, Reading and other areas.

Brilliant work, Paul. Well done, sir! I sometimes sit and drink coffee on the pavement with one of the homeless guys in town; chatting with him I know how much benefit the Yellow Bus will bring.
