Whickham South and Sunniside Councillors Jonathan Wallace and Alan and Marilynn Ord have met with Go Ahead North East Director Martin Harris to discuss bus services in their ward. The meeting took place on Friday 15th December.
Following large changes to services in September, Jonathan, Alan and Marilynn carried out a survey of residents about the impact of the new services. Residents raised worries about the loss of direct services from the Sunniside estate to Sunniside Front Street, central Whickham and Dunston.
Residents of the Broadway estate in Whickham expressed concerns about access to Whickham village and Dunston.
“We feel the meeting was productive and we put forward a number of proposals to help solve some of the problems that have arisen since the services were changed,” said Marilynn.
“Mr Harris took away the proposals we put forward and said he would look into them.”
Whickham North Councillors Chris Ord, Mary Wallace and Peter Craig and Dunston Hill and Whickham East Councillors Yvonne McNicol, Allison Chatto and Peter Maughan are aiming to meet Mr Harris in the early New Year to discuss problems affecting their wards.
