PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can we all be clear about terminology. Even us Greens seem to be mixing things up here. Hopefully this post will put things right - in response to a query from a local person I will endeavour to put myself and others straight...The Car Club has cars in Stroud that are shared by the 50+ members. Car Club cars are not really used by commuters as you pay by the hour but are a wonderful option if you only use the car occasionally each week. Read more about them on their website - there are also many other schemes springing up around the country.
Lift sharing is a completely different matter, and the national body is: www.liftshare.com
Gloucestershire County Council in conjunction with the Districts, now operate their own mini-version called - just to confuse matters - Car Share Gloucestershire:
www.carsharegloucestershire.com
It is simple to operate - one friend found a regular lift to Bristol for work 4 days a week - although another friend who has tried it on a one-off basis has so far been unsuccessful. Good luck.
