Community Wheels is a community car scheme for people in Central & North Herefordshire who are unable to use public transport and have no access to private transport of their own.
The Service
Community Wheels has built up a reputation of providing an efficient, reliable and friendly service to a large number of clients. For many, our scheme means the difference between getting out and seeing friends, doing the shopping, visiting a doctor or simply staying at home because there is no other choice. Community Wheels exists to tackle these issues.
There is a charge for using our service.
To use the service, clients must live within Central and North Herefordshire and have no alternative means of transport. The service is open to anyone who has no other means of public transport or own.
Where can I travel from?
Community Wheels serves the rural area of Central and North Herefordshire and covers parishes stretching from Leintwardine in the north to Fownhope in the south
If you live in the yellow shaded area of the map, Community Wheels can provide you with transport.
Where can I go to?
Well the answer to that is pretty much up to you! Community Wheels will take people without the means or ability to travel to anywhere within reason.
About Community Transport
Community Wheels was established over 40 years ago to meet the needs of transport users who were unable to access public or private transport. The project serves the Central and North Herefordshire and covers over 100 parishes stretching from Leintwardine in the north to Fownhope in the south. The scheme was born out of the idea that no one should be isolated due to a lack of transport and that the service would be available to all who qualify.
Based in Leominster, we co-ordinate a team of over 55 dedicated drivers who simply wish to make their community a better place to live.
Bookings are to made at least 48hours in advance but we advise give as much notice as possible with each booking.
