The meeting was also attended by Mr Paul Hill, Managing Director of Lincolnshire RoadCar accompanied by two other RoadCar representatives Mr Jim Carpenter and Mr David Parsons and also present were Mr Steve O’Dare Practice Manager of the Hawthorne Medical Centre and Ann Stray, Practice Manager of the Beacon Medical Centre.

The forum has been very concerned about public transport servicing the Medical Centres and was successful, with the help of Mark Simmonds, MP for implementing the 57C bus service to the Hawthorne Medical Centre after the SB2 had been stopped, and are now trying to get a bus service to the Ingoldmells Medical Centre. Each representative stated their position and Cllr Jim Dodsworth suggested more funding be made available to the voluntary car scheme presently operating in Burgh le Marsh which transports patients to various medical centres and hospitals.

As well as being informative the meeting was a very social occasion with refreshments and a raffle.

The next open meeting will be at the village hall Friskney on Monday 14th February at 10am for tea and coffee, meeting commencing at 10.30am.
