Door-to-door bus

Lewes Community Transport, along with East Sussex County Council and the Countryside Agency, has started a Dial a Ride Service.

The bus will collect people from their homes and deliver them to Uckfield or further afield if requested. Passengers are then picked up two hours later and delivered back to their front gate.

The idea behind the service is to allow people who cannot easily access normal bus services to do their shopping or to meet up with friends and family.

On Tuesdays, Dial a Ride operates in Framfield, Blackboys, Waldron, Little London and surrounding area.

On Thursdays, it operates from Halland, East Hoathly, Laughton, Whitesmith and surrounding area.

On Fridays, it operates from Chiddingly, Gun Hill, Muddles Green, Lower Dicker and surrounding area.

To use the service, customers will need to register by phoning 01273 517332.

After registration, customers can telephone the office a day before to make a booking. There is a charge of 2 made for the return journey, payable to the driver of the day.
