Warminster Community Transport
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 are invited to send a representative to a preliminary meeting to share and discuss this proposal initially with a small number of local community members. (People are welcome to attend as an interested member of the community if they do not represent a community organisation or would prefer not to do so.)
This preliminary meeting will be held on 15th April 2008, starting at 6.0 pm. The venue will be the Gallery of the Athenaeum Centre, High Street, Warminster. The room is located on the ground floor immediately behind the reception area and is accessible to people with disabilities.
Those invited to the meeting include 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 the initiative to be discussed at the meeting please contact Keith Humphries of Warminster Shopmobility on (01985) 218255 or Liam Tatton-Bennett, Transport Officer of Community First on (01380) 722475.
