THERE is an exciting possibility that Co-Cars may establish a presence in Crediton.

Co-Cars is a not-for-profit co-operative social enterprise that already successfully runs a network of shared, low and zero-emission cars across Exeter and the South West.

In a statement, Co-Cars said: “Have you ever needed to use a car for just a few hours or day?

“Maybe you have a second car that isn’t used much but costs a bomb to get through the MOT every year?

“In fact, simply owning a car costs around £3,000 per year in terms of running costs and depreciation - and all for something that doesn’t even move 95 per cent of the time.

“That’s why, as part of our mission to help people in Crediton and the local area lead more sustainable lifestyles, we want to bring Co-Cars car club to Crediton.”

As a Co-Cars member, you can book any car in their network from as little as half-an-hour for an all-inclusive price (plus mileage) that covers fuel, insurance, tax and roadside assistance.

Figures suggest that each car club car also removes between six to 10 private cars from the road, reducing the pressure on car parking spaces as well as helping our environment by tackling congestion and pollution. 

Co-Cars continued: “To help us gauge interest in Co-Cars coming to Crediton, please take a couple of minutes to complete our short survey: https://bit.ly/CoCarsCrediton which will be live until December 12.”

The scheme is being supported by Sustainable Crediton.

The advice is follow the link and fill in the survey, if you are interested in this new service for Crediton.
