Community Car Scheme

The Community Car Scheme is an organised non-profit making community transport scheme which is subsidised by Lyng Parish Council and Breckland Council.  The car scheme caters for journeys which cannot reasonably be made by public transport or where the potential passenger would have difficulty in using public transport.

If you need to go to the local doctors, hospitals, dentists or other medical appointments and have no means of travelling there, the charge to the passenger is 20 pence per mile for a return journey.  The remainder of the cost to the driver is provided by Breckland District Council and Lyng Parish Council.  To book a Community Car please call Peter Clough on 01603 871930.
