Birstall residents living at lower end near Redhill Circle are requesting additional Sky Link stop at Redhill Circle. Current stop is more than a mile away from Redhill Circle. It is not practical to get to the stop specially early mornings/late evenings and at weekends. Any residents over 18 years old, living in Birstall or their family and friends visiting them are eligible and have signed this petition.
Why is this important?
Due to Covid-19 many residents have lost their employment or/are relocated to Leicester or Loughborough. There are new jobs in Leicester, Loughborough, Amazon in Kegworth and East Midland Airport. Most of the advertised jobs require applicant to work shift works and weekends. Sky Link bus which runs through Birstall, every 20 minutes, 7 days a week is the only bus service best suited for above residents to secure and keep their employment. Unlike Leicester (3 stops), Loughborough (6 stops), Kegworth and surrounding (5 stops) Birstall residents are discriminated by your company for providing only ONE stop at Harrogate/Sibson Road Birstall. This stop is nearly more than a mile away for residents living near Redhill Circle. We need additional stop at Redhill Circle for residents. The provision of providing additional stop to Birstall Residents living at lower end of Birstall will NOT cost any additional financing to company and it will benefit to residents and your company as there will be more passengers travelling on this route.
How it will be delivered
I print and deliver this petition in person. (it was delivered on 13th April 2021)
