Redbridge transport provision

A message from our colleagues at One Place East:

Currently Redbridge uses the Mobility Card Scheme, Taxicard, Blue Badge, Freedom Pass and Dial-A-Ride schemes. Internally the Council also has an adult passenger transport and SEN transport scheme for service users.

The Council have heard from residents who did not meet the criteria to access the transport provision that they currently provide. As a result, they want to focus their passenger transport options on a community-based approach, which aims to help residents keep their independence for longer. For example, through a door-to-door store shopping service which allows residents to do their shopping independently, or a scheme set-up to assist older and vulnerable residents to attend health appointments and social activities that they would normally struggle to attend.

At this meeting, the Council would like to explore the potential to expand their current passenger service provision in the borough so they can give a far wider range of transport options.

The meeting will be held on Tuesday 17th May from 11am to 1pm at One Place East office in Ilford Lane.
