HARLOW Community Transport, which provides bus services across Harlow and Epping Forest, has taken delivery of a new minibus to increase its services in the Harlow area.

The new accessible minibus helps the registered charity meet the needs of local people who, for various reasons, are unable to use conventional public transport.

Community Transport co-ordinator Angela Canham said: “The service provides a lifeline in both rural and urban areas.

“We run local bus routes and provide transport for a wide range of clubs, voluntary/community groups and care homes.”

Community Transport offers various services – Dial-a-Ride, a social car service, transport for voluntary and community groups, community buses and transport for excursions.

Angela added: “Our vision is to operate a service that will allow everyone to be able to experience the same freedom of travel.”
