Lorraine Clifford-Lee: It has not been communicated with me, but I know some local people have made contact. They were told that one side of the road was unsafe. Maybe a solution could be found, because there is a hotel with a large car park, and I know it is supportive of the bus service because it also serves the hotel. Will they work in conjunction with the hotel to examine the possibility of the bus pulling...
