Scooter hire and Bicycle scheme
For County Durham residents who find accessing available transport a real struggle
We are a charity that offers personal transport to people who find it difficult to get to, or sustain, employment, volunteering or further education opportunities because of a lack of available transport options.
Our Scooter and Bicycle services are for County Durham residents (pay their Council Tax to Durham County Council) or anyone who has a DH postcode.
If your Council Tax is paid to a different Local Authority area and you do not have a DH postcode, you will need to look for a similar service there.
Applying for a Bicycle
To start the wheels in motion we will need a completed application form from you. Please read the information included on this website carefully before doing this including the Bicycle agreement, Am I eligible section and the FAQ's page
