LOCAL BUS SERVICES and TIMETABLES
New community transport service launched
People living in the Fleet, Church Crookham and Elvetham Heath areas of Hart now
have the opportunity to use a new look community transport service.
Fleet Link provides a dedicated community bus service in and around the Fleet
area on Monday to Saturday each week. A service is also provided to Camberley on
a Wednesday and into Farnborough on a Tuesday so that people can visit the local
market.
The new service has replaced the Call and Go and is jointly funded by Hampshire
County Council, Fleet Town Council and Church Crookham Parish Council. It
is aimed at providing a public transport service for people who cannot use a
conventional commercial bus service because they have restricted mobility, or
are living somewhere that is not served by a suitable commercial bus service.
Passengers wishing to use Fleet Link must book their journey in advance and will
normally be picked up and dropped off at their home address. Seats are
booked by calling 0845 602 4135 up to the day before they want to travel. Fleet
Link vehicles are wheelchair accessible and people who have an Older Persons Bus
Pass or disabled pass can currently travel for half fare on the service (full
return fares range from £3 for a local trip to £4.50 for Camberley &
Farnborough)
Councillor Mel Kendal, Executive Member for Environment at Hampshire County
Council said, This new look service has been designed and introduced as a
result of close partnership working between the County Council and the local
parish and town councils, together with consultation with existing Call & Go
users. By combining the available financial resources from all three councils,
it has been possible to maintain a good level of service in Fleet and the
surrounding area for those people who find it difficult to travel using
conventional bus services. This is an excellent example of partnership working,
providing a scheme which I believe will make life that little bit easier for
many people in the area.
On behalf of the Fleet Town Council and Church Crookham Parish Council, George
Woods said, We welcome the opportunity to play our role in supporting this
service which we know will be valued by many people, particularly those in
outlying, more rural areas. The service will make it easier for people to
do some of the regular things, like shopping, that so many of us take for
granted. Fleet Link will also help people to maintain their
independence. We would really encourage local people to take full
advantage of this service.
Residents wanting to find out more about Fleet Link should contact Hampshire
County Councils Travel Centre on 0845 602 4135.
