As part of the Room to Roam Green Travel Hub project Huntly Development Trust has received funding to set up a car club. Members of Huntly and District Car Club get all the benefits and convenience of owning a car at a fraction of the cost. Joining the club and booking a vehicle is quick and easy, and a variety of vehicles can be booked by the hour for up to 10 days. Huntly Development Trust is working with the national sustainable transport charity Carplus to run a car club survey. This is your chance to tell us where the vehicles should be located, what type of vehicles you’d like us to provide and where you’d like to take them. Please feel free to share this survey amongst friends and family. Hard copies will be available in the community and you can download an electronic copy from www.huntlydevelopmenttrust.org please return completed hard copies of the questionnaire to oliver.giles@huntly.net or Oliver Giles, Huntly Development Trust, Brander Building, The Square, Huntly, Aberdeenshire, AB54 8BR
