HEDINGHAM OMNIBUSES as of the 30th of June are discontinuing the Halstead to Colchester route. It is said that there are not enough riders to keep this route going through out the rest of the year. Regular bus users are distraught at this news.
Through out the last eight months the bus fare has gradually increased from £3.80 for an adult to travel to Colchester from Halstead to an unacceptable £6.50. This seemed to discourage people from travelling this route, resulting in less riders which seems to have caused this.
Mrs Potts uses the service at least
twice a week, she is a volunteer worker in British Heart Foundation."This means I can no longer help out at work, volunteering at the British Heart Foundation isn't just something for me to do a few days a week, it means something to me. My husband passed away three years ago from heart disease. I want to do my part to stop people from suffering the way that I did"Mrs Potts, among more than eighty others have signed a petition to have the bus route continued.
