The Warminster and Villages Community Partnership is supporting an emerging community initiative which aims to develop improved transport access for people living in and around Warminster, particularly those who struggle to get to local services and facilities such as post offices, shops, youth clubs, therapy centres, doctors etc.
Being developed by a dedicated group of local organisations known as Warminster Community Transport, this community initiative proposes a central point, or "hub" for local community transport services to be located at the CAB Building in Central Car Park, which houses the Warminster Information Centre.
The types of services being considered at present for this central `point' include:
• information about local transport
• community transport services
• services to help disabled people to get to local shops
All local organisations were invited to send a representative to a preliminary meeting held on 15th April 2008 at the Athenaeum Centre, High Street, Warminster.
Those invited to the meeting included representatives of : Warminster LINK, Warminster MENCAP & Gateway Club, Warminster Youth Club, the Beckford Centre, Warminster Civic Trust, Warminster Chamber of Commerce, Warminster Independent Traders Association, Warminster Surgeries, the MS Society, transport services such as those run under the Connect 2 Wiltshire banner (e.g. RUH Hopper.) village representatives and other interested parties.
For further information about WCT please contact Keith Humphries of Warminster Shopmobility on (01985) 218255 or Liam Tatton-Bennett, Transport Officer of Community First on (01380) 722475.
