Northants community bus service triples number of journeys. Thanks to @BBCLookEast for highlighting our work in @WestNorthants. We are so pleased to serve the community we live in @theresecoffey @ALewerMBE @CTAUK1 #ruralbus bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-no…
So disappointed that @UKLabour voted against this.
This change was required to permit organisations like ours to recruit volunteers and employed drivers. @CTAUK1 has modernised its MiDAS training to provide Safe, Legal and Comfortable journeys
@ALewerMBE @andrealeadsom
Thanks to @ALewerMBE for raising this important topic
The UK driving licence regime puts off community transport volunteer drivers. C.30% of Northampton South constituents are between 20 & 40, but this age group currently cannot drive CT minibuses. @abilitycic

At 16:00 tomorrow, MPs will discuss the potential impact of the UK leaving the EU on driving licences in a Westminster Hall debate.
This debate may also include a discussion on D1 licensing. If this interests you, be sure to give it a watch: whatson.parliament.uk/event/…

Today I planted a cross in the Westminster remembrance garden for those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of our country. @PoppyLegion #RemembranceDay2023
ABILITY is proud to be a supplier of MiDAS training in our area, we are looking forward to the modernisation of this excellent training program providing Safe, Legal and Comfortable travel for all minibus passengers

As (we hope!) you're aware, we're modernising MiDAS. And a modernised system needs a new logo: so here it is! You can read more about the changes here, but just remember that nothing will be different until 2nd January 2024: ctauk.org/midas-transformati…

We are pleased to be a #LivingWage employer. As a not for profit social enterprise we look after our most valuable asset- our people. We will implement this increase from the beginning of next year. @CTAUK1 @wnctgroup
The NEW Living Wage rates for 2023/24 are out! 🎉
Both our #LivingWage rates have risen: £12 (UK) £13.15 (London), meaning a pay-rise for hundreds of thousands of workers. With the rising cost of living, it’s more important than ever.

More to do, but good to see this work underway and almost completed. Was pleased to support @Duston_PC , @NigelHinch & @MattGolby in getting things moving.
The redevelopment of Limehurst Square in Duston is looking good. Well done @kiergroup and @WNhighways 👍

I'm sure many operators will have a strong view on this. But its the people waiting for us at the side of the road that count the most. When we cannot reach them, through unannounced disruption or poorly thought out permitted works - the end result literally drives people away.

CTA, led by our Director for England, @CarolineWhit1, is attending the @transporteast Call for Evidence in Ipswich on #RuralMobility to discuss the unique challenges rural people face when seeking employment, education, facilities and well-being.
This meeting is an opportunity to highlight to the region’s transport body the issues of rural transport and suggest ways for improvement.🚐
Out and about today visiting our fellow operators in East Yorkshire @CTAUK1 m.facebook.com/story.php?sto…
