HIGH SUFFOLK COMMUNITY TRANSPORT LIMITED Registered under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014. Reg No 27141R HIGH SUFFOLK COMMUNITY BUS It all started due to the Post Office Bus for Bedingfield and Eastern Counties Bus Company withdrawing their last remaining commercial services. The MSDC Councillor at the time was invited to a meeting to establish requirements for the area. At the time Waveney District were running a Community Bus to Diss so the District Councillor took up the offer to visit them and experience their service first hand to see if it would suit their ward of 7 Parishes. Subsequently the Councillor called meeting and formed committee comprising one representative from each of the seven Parish councils plus themselves and a single County Councillor and set about raising the money required to purchase and set up a community bus. Thus in 1983 the High Suffolk Community Bus came into being and has been providing local & community transport for the parishioners of the villages of Bedfield, Bedingfield, Kenton, Monk Soham, Southolt, Tannington, & Worlingworth ever since. The objectives of our Community Bus are to provide local & community transport for the parishioners of the above villages which is undertaken on the basis of regulated Scheduled Services under a ‘Section 22 Permit’, and occasionally through Driver Assisted Private Hire In late 2022 we rerouted our weekly Diss serviced to run via Stradbroke at the request of Stradbroke residents. In late 2023 we rerouted our month Saturday service to Norwich to run via Stradbroke at the request of Stradbroke residents. Our new monthly Martlesham service also runs through Stradbroke. We are a registered ‘not for profit’ organisation operated entirely by volunteers, both the Management Committee and the Drivers are unpaid and our services do not receive any form of subsidies.
