Solstice Park and the community, The community in Amesbury, Salisbury, amesbury, A303

Solstice Park is pleased to be linked with communities in the Salisbury District and particularly in Amesbury; Solstice Park has adopted a policy to support Amesbury youth and sports in particular.

Since commencing work in August 03 Solstice Park has built up the following community links:

Amesbury Community Bus
In November 2007 a unique collaboration was formed with COMTRANS South Wiltshire and Solstice Park, whereby a minibus was made available to the local community outside the peak travel periods, in the evenings and at weekends. The Amesbury Community Bus is available to all community groups in Amesbury and surrounding villages and can also be used to provide a regular service for individual people with limited mobility to shop, socialise, or have days out. Click here for further information on the service.
