Dial-a-ride

Community Links is the door-to-door community transport service for all residents who may be stuck for transport in Stratford District. Community Links' five vehicles are fully accessible for people with mobility problems, and our drivers will be happy to help, but please do let us know if you need assistance and/or are a wheelchair user when you make your booking. The scheme is aimed at those who:

Have a general need for local transport
Cannot access public transport because of mobility problems or other issues
Live in an isolated location with no other form of transport available.

Information and a registration forms are available by phoning 01789 264491.

Once you've joined, book your Community Links journey by phoning the Project Coordinator on 01789 264491 on any weekday between 9am and 4pm. It would help them to help you if you could try to give three working days notice.

The service can be used for a wide variety of journey purposes - visiting friends, attending social groups or leisure activities, lifelong learning and, of course, shopping.

But please note it's not for health trips. The Volunteer Centre Medical Journey Scheme operates day centre and hospital related appointments. Contact Clarissa Roberts on 01789 296334.
