I hear the bus service (X31) is to be stopped from running through Martinstown shortly?

This apparently isn’t a temporary measure. Has anyone stopped to think how half the elderly residents will be able to go anywhere without any form of public transport?

I thought that was why we pay council tax so that transport is provided in the rural communities to allow residents to travel at a subsidised cost. I cannot fathom how someone came to decide that retired folk with no cars can just be imprisoned in the village.

Absolutely disgusting and I for one will fight against this reduction in an essential service!
