Ring and Ride Community Transport
Community Transport may be able to help you.....
The Ring and Ride Community Transport Scheme provides an invaluable service to members of the local community who are either unable to use public transport or for whom no such services are available. It is mainly operated by volunteer drivers using their own vehicles.
Requests for transport to be made to our Ring & Ride desk volunteers, Telephone 01531 635503.
