Local Community Groups Transport Needs Survey

We launched our Faversham Hopper Community Bus Service in April 2024 following the identification of a need for a community bus service linking some of the neighbouring villages and the outskirts of Faversham with the town centre.

Faversham Town Council has developed a transport questionnaire to find out whether there is a need for cost effective minibus hire for local community groups.

The survey can be completed by any community group within Faversham.

The evidence from the survey will be used to identify any community transport needs. It will guide what further research work is undertaken, with the aim of the Town Council applying for additional grant funding from KCC’s Community Transport Scheme.

Please help us get a better understanding of what is needed by taking part in this survey.
