The Meon Valley Bus

The Meon Valley Bus provides public transport services to all residents and visitors within the Meon Valley. Our scheduled service runs on Mondays to Fareham, on Wednesdays to Petersfield and on Fridays to Winchester, picking passengers up at convenient points within the Meon Valley. Passengers are able to spend about 2 hours at the destination town before the return journey.

Everyone is welcome on our scheduled services, including children and dogs (dogs are subject to driver discretion). Please see the Timetable page  for details of our scheduled services.

PLAY AREA - RECREATION GROUND

Many of you will have seen that the renovation of the play area flooring is now complete. It has been very dry so despite our regular watering the grass seed has only just started to germinate. Unfortunately, we do not think that we will be able to reopen the play area yet. We know that this is not ideal but the result in the longer term will be a much-improved safety surface for the children. Thank you for your patience.
