KEEP 54 BUS LOOP FOR GOODWOOD, LEICESTER
To reverse the decision to stop the 54 (First bus) loop and reroute so both 54 and 54A are travelling one way round the loop (up Davenport Road and left into Gamel Road.) The 54A bus stops at 6.00pm.
Why is this important?
Evington ward has the highest proportion of elderly people in Leicester. Without this 54 bus service, residents along Gamel Walk, Gamel Road, Harringworth Road, Skampton Road, Davenport Road, Withcote Avenue, Oakside Road and Beechwood Close are effectively being cut off from access to medical care, shopping facilities and contact with the outside world. Isolation and loneliness in the elderly costs the NHS a lot of money.
If the route was reversed and both the 54 and 54A buses were going the same way, then the turning would be better and there would be less likelihood of congestion.
