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!
