One of the Midlands' leading independent car dealerships is offering a lifeline "go anywhere" delivery service to help Atherstone and district cope with social distancing during the coronavirus crisis .

Big-hearted Polesworth Garage is ready and willing to collect pensioners' provisions or pick up prescriptions from local pharmacies.

They are just two solutions that the long-established Nissan dealership can deal with immediately in the wake of having its drivers "not being so busy as usual".

Owner Martin Newbold told Nub News: "We'd go anywhere for this service at the moment as we have three or four drivers doing very little.

"We can help to get shopping for the elderly or take prescriptions from the pharmacy to someone's home.

"We will also collect and deliver vehicles to help all our clients get their cars serviced and maintained.
