Who We Are

Your committee is a group of like
Minded people who felt that it was time something was done to help- people affected by their remoteness from urban centres and the lack of adequate transport facilities in Gorran and the surrounding areas. Following a public meeting this became the Gorran & District Communitgy Bus Association Ltd.,, and is now a registered charity and a Company with the committee as Directors. With help from the Community Transport Association, Cornwall County Council, local Parish Councils and a lot of hard work by local people, grants and contributions were gathered sufficient to order a new bus that went into service on 1st August 2000.

Noreen Atkinson
Joint Chairman

With responsibility for business and individual sponsorship and social activities with the friends but also a great help anywhere it is needed. On Excursions sub-committee and specialist on Mystery Trips

Except for our co-ordinator who takes reservations and plans routes, drivers, committee members, cleaners and other helpers are unpaid. Their purpose is to run an efficient service that augments rather than competes with existing commercial undertakings. All members of the committee, besides service as directors of the company, meet a common requirement--they have a responsibility for a specific activity area. Our only passengers are on the bus.
