An arson attack on a bus for disabled and vulnerable people has left staff at the charity that runs it "demoralised".
The £20,000 seven-seater van operated by Kirkby Our Centre helps provide medical transport for disabled and vulnerable people.
Local residents who use the service said they were "shocked and disgusted" by the attacks, the first of which took place on 12 October.
The second attack happened just a day later.
The first incident was at noon in Kirkby-in-Ashfield when the driver was having some lunch.
The second attack took place the next evening "to finish off the job", Kirkby Our Centre manager Tim Cooper said.

Hate them, there's nothing Community about them when they're taking people to Nottingham on a night time for a night out.

I'm not a fan of them when the guy mentioned in the news clip is on £25,000 a year.

I bet this is where out Licensing money is going to.
