A message to local groups and individuals from Ashbourne Community Transport:
Dear Local Groups,
We would like to introduce our services. We have 12 wheelchair accessible vehicles available for hire for trips out etc. during the week, evenings and weekends. Our vehicles range from 12 seats to 16 seats.
We charge £8.50 per hour and £1.00 per mile (min. charge £18.50) – this is charged from our base, back to our base, and we can take you to any destination of your choice.
All our drivers are CRB checked and are trained in first aid, safeguarding, Midas driving and manual handling.
Instead of using one of our drivers, we could train one of your group members for free, making your outings just £1.00 per mile as and when you use the bus.
Please ring the office for more detail on 01335 300670 or email info@ashbournect.org.uk
