e-Scooters have been installed in Clunes Martin

​

You may have read that as part of managing the transport needs for rural communities, Somerset Council are introducing e-Scooters

​

The first twelve villages to benefit from this had their scooters delivered last week (pictured above). Winsford is planned to also be an early beneficiary and work will be starting next week on our bus shelter to provide the necessary charging points. 

​

The scooters have a fully charged range of around 20 miles, meaning that  they can handle return trips as far as Dulverton and even Timberscombe

​

​

With a surprising lack of publicity, it seems the local Liberal MP Rachel Gilmour will be holding a constituent surgery in Winsford this Friday.

​

Anyone wishing to discuss an issue with Rachel , can book an appointment via the online form here: forms.office.com/e/e0sUaiYF2G or by calling 07356 087010.

 

As yet we have no further information on the visit, but will update when we do.
