Community Bus Survey Community Bus Survey Fields marked with an * are required Would you use a Community Bus? Hello, the parish councils know that for many residents (especially those who don’t drive), accessing social activities in neighbouring villages, going to the shops or even visiting loved ones in nursing homes, can be really difficult given that we have a limited public transport service. So, the local councils (Pitstone, Marsworth, Ivinghoe and Cheddington) are gathering information about the types of activities and places that you feel you would like to be able to reach, to assess whether a community minibus service in the local villages would help to break down these barriers. It may be able to offer some services where it collects residents from their homes, or some set routes. We need as many people as possible to complete the survey so that we can investigate providing the most suitable service. You can complete the survey online here until Friday 1 November 2019. 1.
