Haslemere Hoppa extends to Grayshott and Headley Down

The villages of Grayshott and Headley Down will benefit from the extension of the Haslemere Hoppa shoppa service to and from Haslemere following the introduction of a 6 month trial. The service will operate on weekday mornings and provide a door to door service for residents wishing to visit friends, relatives, businesses and shops in Haslemere and vice versa.

Richard Lyon, chairman of Grayshott Parish Council commented ‘following consultation with residents of Grayshott and Headley Down, we identified a demand for a community transport service to and from Haslemere. This initiative is a great example of collaborative working with the parish councils of Grayshott and Headley, our Hampshire County Councillor and this Waverley based Hoppa service. This door to door community transport is a service for all residents. It is hoped that it will encourage less reliance on the car and provide opportunities for our residents that may feel a little lonely or isolated to have the opportunity to have trips out and meet with others on the community transport service’.

The pilot was made possible through a County Councillor grant from Cllr Debbie Curnow-Ford.

For more details of the service, residents can pick up a leaflet at their Parish Council Office, register online for free at www.Hoppa.org.uk or call Haslemere Hoppa on 01428 681701
