Dear Sir,

Sorry to hear about the bus problems in Woodham etc! The number 7 has doubled its weekday time and Saturday service from 2 to 4 an hour via Woodham Way and now runs 1 instead of 2 per hour daytime on Sundays/Bank Holidays in that area!

While the hourly Number 8 has gone from that area, this means that area gets an extra bus service although others in other areas have lost services! For people who may have to get two buses now, they may be able to use the Link 2 service for up to 5 miles etc, Mon – Fri basis. This is a prebookable service via the County Council! Phone number 0191 383 5383. “Helping Hand.”
