               New bus for Biddulph!                

Voluntary and Community groups in Biddulph now have the opportunity to use a Staffordshire Moorlands Community Transport minibus to be based in the town.  Hollinshead Coaches have very kindly agreed to garage the 16 seat minibus with effect from 1^st May 2008.  The opportunity to retain the bus in Biddulph means there will be no additional mileage included for the journeys from Leek, and will be a real benefit to users.

 Sally Bentley, Community Transport Officer for Staffordshire Moorlands Community and Voluntary Services says “We do hope groups will use this new facility. The minibus is available for use by all voluntary and community groups in the local area.”

SMCVS has a small team of volunteer minibus drivers, including local residents from the Biddulph area, who came forward following a recruitment day in Biddulph. The service is reliant on such volunteers to drive the minibus, so groups are asked to book one-off or regular usage in advance.

To book the minibus or for further details please contact SMCVS Community Transport on 01538 371544
