This scheme was developed to assist those in the community who are transport disadvantaged, including the aged, frail and younger disabled residents without easy access to transport.  Contact the Co-ordinators for eligibility criteria.

Transport includes personal car service which caters for wheelchair clients and community shopping buses. The scheme owns and operates six cars, one flash cab and manages the GR Community Car, plus volunteers own vehicles.
