The Dengie DaRT (Number 99) is a new Dial-and-Ride service running between the Dengie Peninsula, Maldon, St Peter's Hospital, Heybridge, Hatfield Peverel Station, and Broomfield Hospital. It has two parts - a fixed part between Broomfield and St Peter's, and a pre-book section to run forward between any address in Heybridge, Maldon and certain parishes in the Dengie.
The Dengie Dart is a great example of the 'Big Society' in action. This is a 'localism' inspired service which has enjoyed both actual and moral support and input from a number of local authorities, from the hospitals themselves, Parish Coucils, District Councils, Dengie Hundred Bus User Groups, GPs, our local Members of Parliament, Essex County Council, and in a big manner from Rural Community Council of Essex (RCCE) without whose help and support this service could not have started.
