Reed Calls for Re-Think on Bus Service Cuts

Loughborough MP Andy Reed has joined forces with a local pressure group Long Whatton & Diseworth Bus Action Group to call upon East Midlands Airport and Kinchbus Limited to think again on proposals to cut bus services affecting Loughborough constituents.

The affect of the changes if implemented would see two local villages Diseworth and Long Whatton cut off from Loughborough between 7pm and 7am from April.

Reed has now received complaints from Loughborough residents who fear removal of the service could result ultimately in them losing their jobs, as well as being unable to visit friends and family in neighbouring villages.

Reed stated “I am concerned for my constituents in Loughborough that a hasty decision could have harmful long term affects in the long run”. He added “good public transport is essential especially to connect people in local communities and I hope that a sensible outcome is achieved before the cuts are set to take place next month.
