Connecting Communities - mobility for those without access to a vehicle

With the loss of the village's scheduled bus service in 2011, Creeting St Peter now relies solely on the Connecting Communities service for public transport.

This service, which is demand responsive, requires potential users to contact a central booking office to arrange a journey from A to B, usually to a nearby town, railway station or bus route, but it also helps convey patients to hospital or to medical appointments at local surgeries. Buses are available between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday to Saturday

During the pandemic, bookings have only been possible for essential journeys, and for those travelling to or from work, but it is hoped that, as things return to relative normality, that it will become available for leisure journeys too.

If you want to know more, here's a video that explains how the service works.

Alternatively, you can call the booking office, which is currently open between 9 a.m. and noon, Monday to Friday, on 01449 614271.
