Community Transport
Community transport is the provision of transport for people who are unable to use conventional public transport due to the lack of an available service, isolation, disability or mobility difficulties. Community transport is a demand responsive service and so often has to be booked in advance. They are set up to help benefit the local community and operate on a not for profit basis, although there is still a charge for using the service.
If you want to use community transport in South Holland then you can check eligibility and availability of services in your village through Lincolnshire County Councils a2b website.
