Bus Problems for 24

Cllr Andrew Waller has called for the 24 bus route to be restored to Windsor Garth after Arriva diverted the route this morning. Residents reported to Andrew that the bus was unable to get through the Windsor Garth part of the route due to parking linked to nearby building works. This resulted in a decision to change the route along Ascot Way missing out Windsor Garth and possibly for the duration of building works in the area (which it is believed may continue for many months with the Our Lady’s School Site/HobStone development). Andrew pressed for an answer from Arriva which was given this afternoon, and he is pushing for a resumption for the existing route. He has asked the council to provide formal notification on bus stops as Arriva will not put up signs.

Cllr Waller said “Many elderly residents in the area depend on this service, and I am concerned about the long term effect of changes to the route, and I’ll be putting up temporary notices in the morning to let people know that the bus is unlikely to stop on Windsor Garth. It is another example of the problems that residents have faced in this location whilst there has been so much disruption due to building works.”
