Written evidence from P Gibson (BUS 133)
I live in the village of Dalton Piercy near Hartlepool,
due to cuts in public subsidies to bus operators we no longer
have a bus service passing through the village. This means that
for anyone without a car there is a three mile walk to the nearest
centre of Hartlepool. Many people here are pensioners, a taxi
is a considerable portion of their meagre pension for the round
trip. I realise that due to the financial mess left by the previous
government we are in parlous times but please give some consideration
to the case put forward by our local MP, Mr I Wright.
