The bus, which has operated for 30 years, takes patients to Soham Medical Centre from four surrounding villages. But organisers are worried that if villagers fail to support their annual meeting later this month, there may not be enough volunteers to form a committee. The service is run by the Staploe Transport Association and picks up passengers twice a week from Fordham and Isleham and once a week from Chippenham and Wicken. We need at least two or three people from each village and a secretary.
People see the bus running and think there is no problem so they leave it alone.
We need villagers to take an interest in it. The bus is supported by donations from local businesses and costs 4,500 a year 2.62 a head for each of the 1,850 passengers it carried last year. The association s annual meeting, supported by doctors and nurses from the medical centre, will take place on Monday, January 29 at the Soham Medical Centre. Mr Woodbridge on 01638 780659.
