This is a voluntary car scheme, providing transport to connect with bus, coach and rail services and for any other essential trips for which there is no alternative transport.

Anyone for whom there is no public transport service available or unable to use public transport for essential journeys.

Local service (West Dorset).

The passenger makes a contribution between 25p and 35p per mile based upon the mileage travelled (which cannot be more than 50 miles for a round trip) and receives a receipt from the driver. The additional costs are subsidised by Dorset County Council.

Anyone eligible to use this service should telephone Mrs Sally Falkingham on 01300 320969 to give details of the transport required. Twenty-four hours notice is essential except in emergencies. 

If the trip is eligible the local organiser will ask one of the volunteer drivers to help. The driver then makes the trip noting the total mileage (which cannot be more than 50 miles for a round trip).

Volunteers drive their own vehicles.
Areas served: Cattistock, Chilfrome, Frome Vauchurch, Maiden Newton, Toller Fratrum, Toller Porcorum, West Compton and Wynford Eagle.
