Community Led Timetabled BUS Service?
Tadmarton & Swalcliffe Parish Councils are looking into the possibility of running our own Community Bus.
​
Imagine a local Bus Service with a regular timetable going to the places we all need to be at, or would like to be at. The Horton Hospital, Gateway Shopping, The Town Centre, for instance?
​
Would YOU like YOUR own Bus, because without passengers, the wheels on the Bus do not go round!
