SVD Driver/Duty Officer Get-Together:

SVD will be holding their annual Get-Together at The Thames Court pub/restaurant in Shepperton at 6.30pm on Tuesday, 7th January, 2025.

We don’t often get the chance to meet each other during the year, so all associated with SVD, eg, drivers and duty officers are welcome to attend and get the chance to meet and catch up with each other. It should be a great evening.

Price increase from 1st November, 2020:

As agreed at a SVD Committee Meeting held on 14th July, 2020, the following changes came into effect from 1st November, 2020;

All mileage charge drives, ie, to all hospitals, and clinics, dentists, opticians, etc outside the borough of Spelthorne, increased from 45p to 50p per mile.

The capped (maximum charge) limits also increased as follows:

• Ashford Hospital £6 to £7
• St Peters/Runnymede/Walton/Weybridge Hospitals, White Lodge Centre, clinics, dentists, opticians, etc outside the borough of Spelthorne £9 to £10
• All other hospitals, ie, London, Guildford, Frimley, Woking etc £22 to £24

All fixed rate charges to clinics, dentists, opticians, etc, within the borough of Spelthorne, remain unchanged at £4.

This was the first increase to the mileage charge rate for 3 years. We hope clients still consider this new rate to be excellent value for money.
