this is #ery disappointing$ 3owe#er( bearing in mind theconstant ad#erse comments relating to the e6isting ser#icepro#ided by the National 1us -ompany( the alternati#efreedom of choice that a #ery local ser#ice would ha#e

pro#ided was not supported by residents through the sur#ey$

You will be aware that !G obtained funding for the sur#eyand had the support of "omerset -ommunity -ouncil togetherwith others but it has now been agreed that no further fundsor time should be spent on the pro5ect$ Therefore( access tofunding has been relinDuished and no further action will betaken$ .t can only be assumed that the ma5ority of residentswho use the e6isting ser#ice are in the main satisfied with thesituation which seems to confirm #iews e6pressed by theNational -ompany$

There are other #olunteer dri#er facilities a#ailable wherebyif you reDuire transport to your G'( hospital etc$ to attendappointments you can arrange this$ ! "omerset organisationis currently looking for #olunteer dri#ers and if you are ableto offer assistance the ad#ertisement can be found on theThe ;rift Newsletter )acebook page$
