Telephone the office on 01723
354434. The first time you call, we will take all necessary
details. There is an annual membership fee of £2.00 to use
Dial A Ride. Then, you need to tell us when and where you want to
go.
Because Dial A Ride is extremely
busy, you are advised to give as much notice as possible.
We accept 'regular' or 'block'
bookings. If you want to go at the same times on the same days then
we can book this as an ongoing request. However, you must be sure
that you are able to keep this commitment. If you cancel at short
notice on several occasions, we may have to stop the regular
booking. If you know you are going away, then you must cancel the
dates you do not need well in advance. This way other people can
use our service and your regular booking will still be in place when
you return.
Dial A Ride services are available:
Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm
Saturday, 10:00am to 4:00pm
Last return journey times are usually 4:30 but this can depend on
the pick up point and your destination.
You can certainly enquire about traveling outside the above
hours. Please get in touch with
the
office.
