Written evidence from Kingsdon Parish Council (BUS 75)

The aged in small rural communities are very dependent on public transport where  the village has lost its post office and in many cases  has lost the village shop or closure is imminent .To these people this service is a life line . Any attempt to reduce the  bus service with less flexibility  would produce  a narrow timetable  creating anxiety for the aged .

     If cuts are to be made in the transport budget free transport should be confined to essential journeys only..
