COMMUNITY TRANSPORT UPDATE

Community Shu le Travel Service Comes To Higher
Kinnerton.

HKCC is pleased to announce that the first community

travel scheme in Flintshire is coming to the village in the
New Year! A er a very successful community drop in event and mee ngs
with FCC representa ves, we can confirm that two community schemes will
come into opera on from February 6th 2017.

Scheme 1. Community Travel Shu le Service.

The service will start from the old bus stop in Benne ’s Lane to Broughton
Park, four mes a day Monday – Saturday. The metable will be confirmed in
the new year but the shu le is intended to run in between the current DB1
bus mes meaning that at key mes of day, a bus will leave the village every
hour. Residents will need to become a member
of the scheme to use the service and a small
annual fee will be required. A registra on event
  will be held in the Village Hall on Wednesday
11th January 4.00pm – 6.30pm. Residents who
hold a bus pass will be able to use it on the new
service for travel purposes. More informa on
will be given at the registra on event.

Scheme 2. Community Demand Service.

Residents needing transport to hospital or doctors will be able to contact the

demand service on a dedicated phone number 24 hours in advance of their
appointment to secure transport. A mileage fee is applicable and will be
confirmed in the New Year. Your Community Council has worked very hard
to secure the new services and we do hope that residents will make full use
of what is being provided. More informa on will be available with the
February newsle er.
