From September 2021, we now are running a total electric vehicle that has wheelchair access. The vehicle was purchased through a grant from the Welsh Government through the CTA (Community Transport Association).
Town Connection is a transport scheme that we are running in the Knighton and District area which is designed to make getting around in Knighton a little easier. It is a paid service for the local community. It's for people who live within 5 miles of Knighton.
This scheme exists to provide transport for local residents who for whatever reason can't get around easily. You can use the scheme for:
Shopping/Post Office
Doctors/Dentist
Cafes/Restaurant
Luncheon Club
Hairdressers
Art Groups
Social Groups/Clubs
Who can use the scheme? In order to book a car you must be a member of the community transport scheme. This includes filling out a short form which can be done on the day of the journey. To become a member you must fall within these categories:
Unable to use existing means of transport due to age, disability, emotional/physical conditions
