Headington Car Club
A new community car club for Headington was launched at the Headington Festival on 7 June. It is being operated in conjunction with Commonwheels, a national organisation already running a successful car scheme in Cowley.
One car, will initially be available in Headington, with a view to increasing the network so that all residents are within a 5–10 minute walk of a car parked in marked bays provided by the Council.
Local people who join the scheme can hire the car for a period of time from half an hour up to several days, from as little as £4 an hour (plus mileage). Members are issued with a Smartcard which unlocks the vehicle, and booking can be made by phone or online via Commonwheels.
To express interest in joining, please email headingtoncarclub@googlemail.com
