Central Bedfordshire Council: MOT testing stations and Non-Emergency Passenger Transport services officially open in Sandy and Dunstable

Date Added: 01/09/2022

We've officially opened two MOT testing stations, offering a brand-new service to residents and businesses.

Our officers were joined by our Chairman Cllr Perham, Cllr Ian Dalgarno, Executive Member for Community Services, Cllr Eugene Ghent, Dunstable Ward Cllr, and the Mayor of Houghton Regis Cllr Yvonne Farrell and Mayor of Dunstable Cllr Liz Jones, who were given a tour of the MOT centre at Thorn Turn, Houghton Regis, following the official ribbon cutting ceremony.

Located at our Thorn Turn and Sandy depots, the testing stations will provide MOTs on Class 4, 5 and 7 vehicles, ranging from cars and mobile homes to mini-buses and goods vehicles, as well ashybrid and electric vehicles.

The team will also carry out annual compliance tests for Hackney Carriage and Private Hire vehicles (taxis) and use the modern stations to maintain and test the our own fleet of vehicles – a service that will save money.

MOTs are available to book online at: www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/MOT

Following the official opening at the MOT bay, a tour was given,and information was also provided about our Non-Emergency Patient Transport (NEPT) service which opened last year, providing children and adults with varying health needs, a safe and assisted non-emergency transport.

NEPT provides transport to students with special educational needs, NHS and private hospital patients, care home residents and hospice patients. The NEPT drivers and care assistants on each vehicle are trained to provide the level of assistance that clients require and know how to respond to their specific needs, according to their individual Health Plan.
