New and improved bus services for Canford Magna residents

The improvements have been made possible by a combination of funding from the Department for Transport’s Bus Service Improvement Plan and contributions from housing developers Taylor Wimpey and Cala Homes, who are developing Canford Vale in Canford Magna and Oakwood Park in Wimborne respectively.

Using the resources provided by Taylor Wimpey and Cala Homes, BCP Council has worked closely with Morebus to align the delivery of improved public transport connectivity with new community development timelines, and secure wider benefits than could have been achieved otherwise. This collaborative approach ensures both new and existing residents across a wider area benefit from higher-quality public transport options, and sooner than would have otherwise been possible.

Aaron Wright, Senior Planning Manager at Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties, said: “We are delighted with the delivery of the newly improved travel services and are proud that our contribution to this scheme will benefit not only our Canford Vale residents, but the wider Canford Magna area too.”

Alison Thompson, Head of Planning at Cala Homes (Southern) said: “Through our developments, Cala seeks to deliver lasting benefits for existing residents and new residents and bring added value for the wider community. We’re proud that our contributions to BCP Council will support investment in sustainable transport links, helping to connect people, businesses and services more efficiently.”
