A new community transport service for Nantwich and the surrounding rural area has been launched.
MP Edward Timpson officially unveiled the service dedicated to the elderly, people with disabilities or those who are socially isolated.
The service is available Monday to Saturday and can be pre-booked. It will provide links from rural areas surrounding Nantwich to essential services and mainline transport links.
The launch took place at Mill House, a Wulvern-managed ExtraCare development on Queen’s Drive, Nantwich, which will be one of the service’s pick-up points.
Cheshire East Cllr Rod Menlove said: “This new service is about improving the lifestyles of those who find themselves isolated and unable to access public transport.
“The new vehicles can be pre-booked – allowing people the rural areas around Nantwich to make appointments, plan ahead and be part of their local community.”
Graham Wood, of East Cheshire Community Transport, added: “We are happy to be expanding our business in the current challenging financial climate. The launch of these services has also provided employment opportunities within our organisation.
“It will provide transport for the users of day care centres in the area.”
To book on the new service, call 01270 211884 from the Crewe and Nantwich area or 01270 505525 from Sandbach or Congleton area.
