Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

From Cllr Barry Wainwright..
I have created this petition at

as a first step to oppose these cuts

Rural Communities Need Sustainable Public Transport

The residents of the rural areas to the east of Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire, learned with dismay on Thursday 17th April that Stagecoach were ‘considering’ the amalgamation of routes 31 and 33, with the implied loss of a bus service for Eastrea, Coates and the rural communities between Whittlesey and March.

Since that time sources within Stagecoach are suggesting that the plans may be even more advanced than the Stagecoach press release indicated. Reports are emerging that the decision is not only already made, but has an implementation date of 31st August 2025.

This petition calls upon the Mayor of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority to make strenuous efforts to resist this change and encourage Stagecoach to continue to provide a service for the 7,500 residents of that region who will have no other recourse, apart from private car, for their daily journeys.

Please sign the petition, the loss or amalgamation of routes 31 & 33 will have a serious effect on rural residents, who are already NOT well served by public transport…

Please be patient – the issue may have been caused by ‘Hackers’ for-ever trying their game at holding people to ransom – there are NO dangers to those visiting the site.
Things get a bit technical so hang in there – trying to sort out

Some disquiet amongst ‘some’ of the 17 members that attended last nights AGM.

Although I am NOT a supporter of Dr. Haq in any way…Any of us that are prepared to put our head above the parapet are worthy people.

Sometimes emotions get the better of people, as I’ve said on many occasions, we
(In many cases Volunteers unpaid) should not be subject to verbal or physical abuse.
Unfortunately it’s a fact of political life at all levels…

I’ll answer this tomorow, as its Easter Monday and we all need a rest…
This Haq statement is spin.
