ROSSENDALE Council and Rossendale Transport have teamed up to make it easier for local people to attend council meetings.

A new shuttle bus will take people from Rawtenstall Town Centre to the new Hardman’s Mill Council Chamber at New Hall Hey.

The service will pick people up from Rawtenstall Bus Station and will operate as and when required for up to 30 minutes before each meeting begins.

The waiting time for each service will be about eight minutes, which is how long a return journey will take.

The service is available to anyone for £1, with concessions available.
