A COMMUNITY cafe in St Ives is looking for more volunteers to help meet the demands of customers arriving in the town on the guided bus.
Tookeys Coffee Shop at the Free Church, Market Hill, St Ives, has seen a surge – a 50 per cent increase at weekends – in customers since the long-awaited arrival of the busway, which opened on August 7 after being delayed for more than two years.
A spokesman for the cafe said: “The guided bus is bringing business to St Ives. It has benefited Tookey’s Coffee Shop – business has grown with visitors from Cambridge and villages nearby so much that we now could do with more volunteer helpers.”
The cafe, which is open six days a week and was refurbished a few months ago, is dependent on volunteers to keep going.
