We have increased transport in Shirehampton area where there has been a large uptake of transportation need. We work with SCAF (Shirehampton Community Action Forum) a local organisation and regularly provide 2/3 buses a week to residents for shopping and trips out.

Social isolation is still a problem amongst the community and LWCT have developed a befriending group supporting the users with Transportation and securing separate funding to allow a weekly tea/coffee activity meetings as well as day trips.

We have replace vehicles and monitor the demand and ensure we have vehicles fit for purpose, running costs have increased and we have been lucky to have been able to cover those costs by good management and finance decisions.
