Bus Cuts to Newport Pagnell and surrounding area

http://douglasmccall.mycouncillor.org.uk/files/2013/02/DMcC-Bus-Shelter-2.JPG.jpg Cllr Douglas McCall is concerned about the massive scale of the cuts to bus services.

The Labour run Council are making massive cuts to the bus services across Milton Keynes. We understand that 65% of all Council supported services will be cut. We have been trying for weeks to get the details out of the Council, but it has been like trying to get blood out of a stone. Finally details are starting to emerge.

Our understanding is that the to bus services at risk serving the Newport Pagnell South ward are as follows.

Services 24/25 are likely to be withdrawn. These services cover Bletchley/Westcroft/Great Linford/Kingston, one in each direction. It seems that this will leave only route 21 serving Great Linford. The 21 runs from Newport Pagnell to CMK.

Service 37 that runs round the rural area Newport Pagnell/Olney/Lathbury/etc. will be withdrawn or reduced/replaced in some way.

Service 1 that covers Newport Pagnell will be reduced in service with the evening and weekend runs affected. Probably no buses after 8pm.

Route 28 is still under review with discussion going on with the operator.

If you wish to object to any bus cuts you need to write to Milton Keynes Council by the 31st January.
