As part of a series of conversations with CTA members across England, I recently caught up with Jon from Community Action Ledbury in Herefordshire.

In April 2025, the Community Transport Association took part in one of six thematic workshops held by Defra's Rural Taskforce, focusing on connectivity. We used the session to share the views of our members from across England: the operators, volunteers and local groups who keep rural communities moving every day.
