Stop the Route Changes for the 56 Bus

We had some success.

Reconsider the proposed changes to the route of the 56 Bus.

Tackle the illegal and inconsiderate parking rather than make changes to route.

This service is run by Stagecoach for Kent County Council and it is KCC that is proposing the cuts because the traffic is making it difficult to maintain reliability.

Why is this important?

This service is an essential link for the elderly who use it to access the shops in Broadstairs and St. Peter's and Margate, to attend the GP's surgery, to go to friends and generally to lead an independent life.

Cutting out the lower part of Broadstairs High Street and taking away the stop in Hopeville Avenue will seriously affect many. Re-routing via Carlton Avenue and Green Lane makes the service much less user-friendly.

How it will be delivered
