Alternatives to driving
As an alternative to hiring a vehicle to drive yourself, many businesses offer taxi and other ride-hailing services, as well as courier services for moving items.
There may be a convenient bus or train that goes your way too – or if it is a short trip, it might be more enjoyable and healthier to walk or cycle! Find out what the council is doing to help in the local area at the below links:
Additionally, if you’re unable to use public transport due to disability, illness, vulnerability or social isolation, People2Places can provide a Dial-a-Ride bus service with pick-up direct from your front door and drop-off right by your destination.
Residents who qualify may also benefit from an annual free travel allowance on the service and see the link below for more information on the service:
