The issue of the replacement bus for the number 3 service has been brought up in Council by Veronica German as well as being the subject of a petition from residents.

However, it seems that there is no movement on the issue from council bosses.

“When I asked the Cabinet Member responsible had he seen the replacement bus he had not at the time. There was much disquiet from all sides of the Chamber about the poor access but it seems that since accessibility had not been written into the the tender, then they could not demand it now,” commented Veronica.

“This really is not good enough. I have asked the Cabinet Member for equalities to investigate this issue and she has agreed to do this.

“Meanwhile most of the bus timetables are blank on the bus stops and the ones that you can read are wrong! I have asked council officials for action on this as well.”
