A bid by Herts County Council supported by North Herts Council for a “demand responsive” bus service for villages in the eastern part of North Herts and northern part of East Herts has been selected to go ahead to the second stage of the Department for Transport bidding process.
The scheme would serve Ashwell, Bygrave, Caldecote, Clothall, Hinxworth, Kelshall, Newnham, Radwell, Rushden, Sandon, Therfield, Wallington and Weston, allowing people to travel to Baldock, Hitchin, Letchworth, Royston or Stevenage. It would operate on demand rather to a fixed timetable with journeys bookable on-line or by phone.
If the bid is successful it would provide £1.4 million to run the service for four years.
