Registered in England. Registered Company No: 6279786 Ellesmere Port & Neston Community Transport Ltd We are a unique and valued non-profit making provider of minibus and car travel, offering our services to community groups and individuals, able and disabled, within Ellesmere Port & Neston and the surrounding area of Cheshire West & Chester. Our service provides essential, affordable transport to meet local peoples’ needs. We provide a range of high quality, reliable and safe vehicles to hire at an affordable cost. Our Community Car Scheme provides volunteer drivers who transport vulnerable people who cannot access conventional transport, to where they want to go. We endeavour to meet all community/individual transport needs and continually monitor and evaluate our services to ensure that we are providing the services the community wants and needs. We believe that transport is a vital element in our everyday lives, enabling people to access real choice and independence on how they operate their lives. Without access to transport many groups and individuals cannot take a full and active part in society therefore leaving them at a disadvantage. Ellesmere Port & Neston Community Transport Ltd is a local Incorporated Charity and a Social Enterprise. We were established in 1997 as a Charity to provide highquality, low-cost transport for those members of our community who are wheelchair users, disabled, vulnerable, disadvantaged, elderly or those who for a variety of reasons are disadvantaged when trying to access transport. June 2008, we became a Limited Company with Charitable Status and Social Enterprise. We have salaried staff, volunteer drivers and volunteer Board members. Registered Charity No: 1121037. Registered in England. Registered Company No: 6279786 Ellesmere Port & Neston Community Transport Ltd We operate 2 adapted cars,1 in Ellesmere Port, 1 in Neston and 2 cars, 1 in Ellesmere Port and 1in Neston. We also have 3 minibuses, of which We believe everyone is entitled to get out & about when & where they want to. Whether that is to hospital, dental, doctors appointments or to visit family & friends, social outings or whatever everyone else goes without the limitations placed on them due to the need for adapted vehicles.
