Bus route improvements in Springvale

Councillor Richard Whitehouse reports that the review of bus services 223 & 224 has been done. It was found that there was a real problem with time keeping mainly because of traffic congestion in Dudley. As a result the timetables have been altered in order to give a better running time and so hopefully improve time keeping. The most important change is that the 224 is to be rerouted from the end of November along Farrington Road, Ettingshall Park. This follows a concerted campaign by the more elderly and infirm residents of Farrington Road to get the bus returned to them and at the same time numerous objections from the residents of Grosvenor Road for it going along their road. Richard Whitehouse said, "This is good news for nearly everyone and a credit to the hard work a number of residents have put into this. However, the subsidy only lasts from Centro for another six months and so IF YOU DON'T USE IT YOU WILL LOSE IT."
