The Downland Volunteer Group runs a 12-seater mini-bus service supporting the Downland villages. It offers a door to door service for shopping trips and other club events with regular trips each week that are delivered by popular demand. If you know of anyone who may benefit from using the service then please pass on the details and we will be glad to try and accommodate them.
If passengers require help with shopping on and off of the bus the driver will be happy to oblige.
The details are as follows:
| Route: Leckhampstead to Chaddleworth to Wantage return |
| When: every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month (starting 14th March 2023) |
