A new community bus for all

A new up to date community bus providing vital links across north Bedfordshire is being supported by the Connolly Foundation enabling the villages of North Bedfordshire to be served in even greater comfort and confidence.

The “Sharnbrook Villager Community Bus is a non-profit making organisation run and operated by volunteers. It provides transport to town and village communities throughout North Bedfordshire and surrounding areas including Milton Keynes, Bedford, St Ives and Rushden Lakes via a scheduled timetable. Anyone can use the Villager Bus and bus passes are accepted on all routes.

Julian Armitage Chairman, Villager Bus Sharnbrook said, “The Villager Community Bus is a key service to those living in remote villages in North Bedfordshire. Without the support from charities such as the Connolly Foundation, we would be unable to continue to update the quality of transport as technology changes. We are extremely grateful for its support allowing us to buy a new vehicle complete with air conditioning and WiFi.”

“We are delighted to sponsor this service,” says David Oldham, Chief Operating Officer of the Connolly Foundation. “We recognise the importance of transport for communities, especially for older people, to access services across the area.”
