THE residents of New Earswick have received information about closure to our village bus services.

From April 11 to April 21 the No 1 service goes from Clarence Street up Wigginton Road, along the A1237 to York Road, Haxby. The number 12 will come along Huntington Road via the Link Road and then a loop around Station Avenue, Willow Bank then back to the Link Road.

As we have two residential homes in New Earswick we rely on the number 20 to take us shopping to Monks Cross or Clifton Moor. Now from April 11 to April 21 we have no bus to take us shopping.

The number 20 will divert from New Lane via North Moor, then the A1237 ring road on to York Road, Haxby. It will not come through the village at all.

Why can’t the number 20 do the same as the number 12 and do the loop through the village? Better still, put the lights back up and single lane traffic – that is what we had while work was going on at Joseph Rowntree School.

Mrs C Watson, Rowan Avenue, New Earswick, York.
