Who are we and what do we do?
The Manningtree & District Community Bus is a local Charity (Registered Charity No 1042006), entirely run by volunteers. We provide low cost transport and outings for residents, local charities and voluntary bodies within Manningtree and its surrounding communities. The bus objectives are to provide transport to shops and other outings to help local people get out and about and meet others.
The Charity was established in 1994. In May 2015, we took delivery of a brand new Mercedes Sprinter mini bus, which can be seen driving around our area, sporting our new livery and contact details.
We operate under Section 19 of the Transport Act 1985 in accordance with the provisions of the Minibus and Other Section 19 Permit Buses regulations Act 1987. In order to use or hire the bus, individuals or organisations must be full members of the Manningtree and District Community Bus organisation. Membership costs £1.00 per annum and is open to all.
The Trustees of the charity and Management Committee consists of:
John Ridgley - Chairman
Jane Rumble - Treasurer
Martin Rumble - Secretary
