The dedicated managers of community transport scheme Shaftesbury Car Link will be taking a much needed break over Christmas.

As one of the only transport schemes to operate in North Dorset, Martin and June Hull have taken the difficult decision to close, to give themselves and their volunteer drivers a well- earned short break. As such, Shaftesbury Car Link will be closed between midday on Thursday December 24 and 8am Monday January 4, 2021.

The couple have been operating since March with just 50 per cent of their volunteer drivers and carried more than 150 journeys each month to help people get to and from their medical and other important appointments.
It’s been a challenging but eventful year for Shaftesbury Car Link, which has been operating for the last five years.
During the pandemic Shaftesbury Car Link was just one of five organisations to be granted an audience with Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Dorset Ian Angus Campbell and HRH the Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward.

June said: “We were honoured. Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Dorset Ian Angus Campbell and HRH the Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward who were very interested to learn of the support being provided by different organisations across the county during the pandemic.”
