SOS & Community Safety Bus

Discussions were had with Colchester Borough Council for an SOS Bus, and a single deck bus was supplied. The bus will provide first aid and assistance for late night revellers in Colchester. The SOS Bus will also be used to provide educational services at various times.

The front area was built with wipe clean walls and seating, with storage areas under the seats. There is hot & cold water with a microwave and fridge. The two internal screens can show DVDs or be connected to a PC for presentations. There is also a screen that is viewable externally.

The rear of the bus has a separate compartment with cupboards for storage and a medical couch with electric buttons for raising and lowering. There are various items of medical equipment including oxygen and also another sink.

There is also a disabled access ramp for the front entrance and an emergency exit with steps to the rear.
