Community Transport South Wiltshire
Tuesday, 15th June 2010
Community Transport South Wiltshire covers the whole area of South Wiltshire and parts of West Wiltshire providing the following services:-
Rural Door-to-Door Weekly/Fortnightly Shopping Service using fully accessible minibuses.
This gives people who are socially isolated and/or may have a mobility problem, the chance to shop in Salisbury for a 2 - 2½ hour stay before return. Friendly drivers are available to help you with your shopping direct to your door if you so wish.
The minibus will pick you up from your door before dropping you off and picking you up again from “The Canal” in Salisbury city centre, “Shopmobility” in The Maltings just off Fisherton Street and at the Tescos Extra Superstore on Southampton Road.
Runs Trips and Days Out for individuals and local community groups. Minibuses will pick you up and return you to your home.
Provides a Minibus Provision Service to local affiliated groups and organisations who do not own a minibus themselves but wish to use their own drivers. The organisation’s own drivers are required to have official minibus driver training (MIDAS or hold a PCV). Training can be arranged through Community Transport South Wiltshire.
Operates a large Community Care Scheme covering South Wiltshire providing voluntary car drivers to take the elderly and people with a mobility problem to and from homes to facilities, be it either for social, medical, educational or leisure reasons.
