IMPORTANT NOTICE

HOMEHOPPA - LOCAL BUS SERVICES – CHANGES WITH EFFECT FROM SUNDAY 8th JUNE 2008.

The Parish Council have been informed that Bedford County Council intend to withdraw the Homehoppa Bus Services – with effect from 8th June 2008.

Homehoppa is an evening taxi service between Bedford and our village (and other NW Beds villages) – it operates Monday to Saturdays.
