The Naxxar council has launched point-to-point transport within the locality, with the help of local businesses.
This service on demand is offered free of charge.
A person may call on 7955 5665 and will be picked up by a driver and taken to another point in Naxxar. There are no age restrictions but if the need arises first preference will be given to persons with mobility problems and the elderly.
Apart from the environmental advantage, the service is mostly aimed at inclusion, especially for those elderly with difficulty to get out of their homes, as they will now be able to do so more easily and will also be able to run their errands as well as meet up with friends to relax.
The scheme should also generate more business for local companies.
