Please ring me as I have a query

This month celebrates our gardens: tulips, Sculpture in the Garden…offering great opportunities to get out and welcome in spring.
I want to highlight our Shopping Shuttle program with its weekly trips to your favourite and local shopping centres. Group-shopping helps you connect with others, keeps your transport costs affordable and allows enough time to get your errands done.
Organised by area, we offer 1-hour ‘essentials shopping’ or 3-hour ‘shop-til-you-drop’ retail therapy sessions. Call our friendly team to discuss which shuttles are available for you.

I want to finish by reminding you that while we can get you to your health appointments, we are also your first call for social, civic, religious, family, friendship or just-for-the-fun-of-it reasons—as often as you’d like. Community transport makes connections that let you be your best self. Call us to ask about your next adventure.
