We want our bus back
Elderly residents living in Union Road, Shirley are up in arms over changes in their bus service and have called on local campaigner Maggie Throup to help them get their bus back.
Earlier this year, residents were delighted when the S7 bus began going along Union Road, providing a very useful service for residents of Aynsley Court, Pegasus Court and Elizabeth Grove. But only a few months on, the service has changed its route to fall in line with changes of the S3 bus.
Angry and upset residents are determined to get their bus back as the next nearest bus stop involves negotiating the very busy and dangerous Stratford Road and a much longer walk, which is impossible for a number of the local residents.
Receiving a petition from the residents, Parliamentary candidate Ms Throup said: “Local services, including buses are vital for these Shirley residents. It is ludicrous that one month the service is introduced, then only a few months later it is withdrawn.
“I will be writing to Centro with the petition asking for the S7 to go along Union Road again, even if it means adding an extra small loop onto its route or having alternate buses serving this road.”
