The Village Hall committee have organised a patch repair for the car park during the May 2026 school holidays to minimise disruption. However to carry out a long term permanent repair and line mark will cost in excess of £30,000, but that is only for HALF the area. Due to being privately owned council funding is not available and the hall is not used enough to provide an income for the Village Hall Committee to solely fund such a large project, therefore a GoFundMe page has been set up, see link below.
When built in 1985 parking was for hall users only, but the amount of traffic has increased significantly over the years by people at school start/finish time, football clubs, pre-school, dog walkers, visiting the surgery/pharmacy etc.
Please note some changes have been applied to the scheme, which started on Monday 21st January 2013, and has been running consistently since then, providing a weekday service for the residents of the parish of Scotter, which includes Scotterthorpe & Susworth, and those living in Scotton, Northorpe and Blyton with a link to Kirton and Scotter surgeries.
People can book travel to Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Hull, and Lincoln hospitals,* both surgeries, opticians and dentists. Prescriptions can be delivered and over eighty-five’s may be transported to their hairdressers. Included within the scheme are community activities and covid /flu jabs
* Longer journeys may be possible but would need to be discussed with an administrator.
Fifteen drivers currently ensure the scheme continues, but new drivers are always being looked for, so if you have free time to give to the scheme please consider signing up. All drivers must have a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, a driver’s licence and insurance cover.
Cost: A standard journey Scotter to Scotter is £3. All other journeys will be charged at 45p per mile, which is paid directly to the driver.
