We don't get many buses in Creeting St Peter, as demonstrated by our bus stop, or lack thereof (and that's a funny story in itself). The news that we might, and I emphasise might, be at risk of losing our market day bus, is an unwelcome reminder of the precarious nature of our public transport links.
It has been announced by Guy Macgregor, Executive Member for Transport on Suffolk County Council, has announced a review of bus routes currently in receipt of financial support. Given that both our scheduled bus route and our community bus fall into that category, we have good cause for apprehension.
I'm an occasional user of the community bus, although I understand that rider figures are a bit low. I've never seen a 453, and as it runs when I'm at work, I'm not likely to see one either. However, there will be those in the village who use them, and it would be nice to hear from anyone who does.
I suspect that the Parish Council will be discussing this at our next meeting, and I for one will be asking our County Councillor for his thoughts...
