Transport links are vital if communities are to thrive
It seems ridiculous in this day and age that on one hand we are doing everything we can to encourage more people to come and live and work in our rural communities – build new housing, schools, a good hospital etc to make sure they grow and thrive – yet this week we hear that because of a lack of one bus and a slight change to a timetable, people are having to give up their jobs because they now cannot get home after a shift.
These jobs will no doubt be as carers, cleaners, people working in hospitality, or in our hospitals – vital services.
