Truro Car Club

The Truro club is moving ahead, and the organiser CarPlus has released the following press statement.
If anyone from Falmouth is able to attend it would be great to get a report.
And perhaps there may be some crossover possible?

“Meeting discuss the plans for implementing a Car Club in Truro – 6th November
A meeting to consider the plans for a car club in Truro will take place on Tuesday 6 November at 7.30 pm at the Pearson Room, Old Bridge Street, Truro TR1 2AH.
Chas Ball, Chief Executive of Carplus, will facilitate the meeting which has been called to explore the options for implementing the car club strategy for Truro, following a successful public meeting in October. The meeting is hosted by Transition Truro.
The key points for discussion include choice of parking locations, types of vehicle, possible links to other transport modes and costs.
Run successfully in other areas of the country, car clubs give access to a shared vehicle without having to own one. Members can book a conveniently located, self-service car on the internet, or by phone and pay by the hour (or day).

Car Club Meeting

ANY INTEREST IN FORMING A CAR CLUB ?
Cornwall Council has arranged a Public Meeting to determine the level of interest in Falmouth for a Car Club.
They have some funding to allocate and want to know if they can help establish and support (for 3 years) an independent car club.
They are working in partnership with Carplus who have recently advised Wadebridge (WREN) who are establishing an E-car club with business and public members.
