THE residents of the Ferndale Road area are not the only ones who would like their bus service reinstated

Last October the council refused to subsidise the Number 22 Stratton bus, used by elderly people, but now has the audacity to increase the local tax.

Those who can ill-afford it have got no alternative but to use a taxi, so what good is a bus pass?

It is about time the powers that be showed some compassion towards the less able.
