Do you need help to get to medical appointments?
Little Chalfont Parish Council has obtained Local Area Forum funding from Bucks County Council for a taxi concessionary scheme, to help with the cost of getting to medical appointments.
The scheme is available to residents over age 65 to provide transport to attend medical appointments at a list of venues, shown below. In addition it is planned to offer transport to the doctor’s surgery in White Lion Road, Little Chalfont and well as local dentists and opticians.
Two local taxi firms, Clover and Linfields, have agreed to take part with Linfields providing transport for wheelchair users. Members of the scheme telephone the approved taxi company and make a booking, in the normal way, to take them to their medical appointment. At the end of the journey, the member pays the driver the agreed fare and obtains a signed receipt. The member then takes this, along with a completed claim form, to the Little Chalfont post office for a 50% rebate.
Further information may be obtained from the parish office on clerk@littlechalfont-pc.gov.uk or 01494 766655.
