A 12-week consultation has been launched by a council on how it provides travel support for people who use adult social care services and their carers.
Following Stockton Borough Council’s Cabinet meeting, councillors approved a draft travel support policy and are now looking for user input to the scheme.
During the consultation the Council will talk and write to people who may be affected, their carers, families and interested organisations.
Cllr Jim Beall, the council’s cabinet member for adult services and health, said: “Where appropriate and with the support of their carers and families, we are keen to enable service users to realise their full potential to use other means of transport."
A copy of the document will be available to download at www.stockton.gov.uk/consultation from July 11 to October 2.
