We are delighted to advise, although somewhat surprised by the lack of formal notification, of the return of the Northampton to Bedford Bus Service Route 41.
The Parish Council fully endorses the following comments from our WNC Ward Councillor, Phil Larratt
Pleas find following link to timetable Route 41 Bus Service Aug 23
I’d heard a rumour that this service was coming back. I also think that one of my Hackleton Ward colleagues mentioned something about it
There was a lot of public concern about the loss of this service and I attended a big public meeting in Olney about it. Residents of Yardley Hastings and Denton who were there were most unhappy about it, as were my own residents of Great Houghton.
Considering the outcry when the service was dropped, we don’t seem to be doing anything to publicise it being reinstated. Surely we need to give the service maximum publicity to ensure its success and ongoing sustainability. Can we please do so? In particular, Parish Councils should be aware.
Many thanks, and all the best.
Phil
