Community bus back in town

Holbeach is set to welcome back its community minibus as a new committee has taken up the reins.

The bus was available to hire at reasonable rates for community use, but a combination of the pandemic and lack of committee members saw the service come to an end.

Supporter Martin Howard was keen to see the service reinstated and approached Coun Tracey Carter for some help.

The pair were joined by Sam Favell and Lisa Clarke, from Chosen, and a new committee was formed.

Martin is chairman, a role he previously held, and the group is now open for more public bookings after a week of background work to get the service up and running again.

The rate is £30 a day plus fuel for a 16-seater bus, contact 07497 12182 or 01406 490361.
