More Lerryn Mini-Bus Drivers needed

Location: Lerryn Memorial Hall

A message from Ann Henderson, Chair of Lerryn Area Mini Bus Association:-

"Your community bus may be called the Lerryn Area Minibus, yet Lostwithiel residents appreciate the service and use it intensively.   

Here are some facts for the year 2016:

  • Of  the  55  passengers  who  regularly  reserved  seats  on  the  scheduled monthly trips, 44 were from Lostwithiel
  • The  minibus  was  hired  on  41  occasions  by  charities  and  community groups - 21 of those were from groups based in Lostwithiel


Following the closure of the Lostwithiel Post-Office, we started a trial  run  of  a  weekly  minibus  trip  to  the  Lerryn  Post-Office  on  Tuesday 24th January 2017.

We were delighted to read in the Lostwithiel Neighbourhood Plan consultation  paper  which  dealt  with  transport  that  the  Parish  Council  is  keen  to  support  the  community  minibus  and  we  are  rather  hoping  that  you  are  too. 

The  minibus  ‘greatest  assets  are  our drivers.  We are in desperate need of more drivers.  The situation is such that if we do not find more drivers, we will not be able to run all the trips planned and we will therefore have to disappoint our valued passengers.

If you would like to find out more about being a LAMA driver, please contact Ann Henderson, Chair of LAMA on 01208 873428 or why  don’t  you  join  us  for  a  complimentary  drink  and  nibbles  in  the  Lerryn Memorial Hall on Monday 6th March at 7.00pm.
