Weekend bus service
Our village needs a bus service at weekends. This is an essential service. There are people in our village who cannot live independent lives because they cannot travel at weekends, and they don’t always have friends or family who can help. This is simply not acceptable. Young people in our village cannot do what millions of other young people do at weekends - catch a bus into town.
Why is this important?
People, like my own mother who is in her 80s, are basically confined to the village every weekend. It’s a lovely place, but many people are unable go shopping, attend a religious service, go for lunch or have tea and cake in a cafe; basically the things you and I take for granted IF we are able to drive/have access to a car/have access to regular lifts/
can afford a 11 mile round trip in a taxi.
Being independent, being able to access services and have social interaction is vital for physical and mental health: it’s not optional optional, it’s a fundamental human right.
