2009 with the help of donations from Malmesbury League of Friends,
Westlea Housing, Malmesbury and Villages Community Area Partnership,
Malmesbury Carnival, Western Challenge Housing Association and the
Rotary Club of the South Cotswolds, for the benefit of groups of
all types in the local community.
Cartmell Community Minibus Limited was
formed in 1997 to manage the Minibus and have successfully been
providing community transport since then.
The vehicle is also equipped to accommodate
two wheelchairs, has an electric lift for safer chair handling and
all seats are fitted with seat belts.
The hire charge (currently 65p/mile for
Youth Groups and 85p/mile for adult groups) is inclusive of fuel
and on the basis that the hiring groups provide their own driver.
All drivers must be aproved by the company, following a relevant
minibus driving test.
