Amended area of operation: pennine-local-link-4-web

Good news!

This project was agreed at the Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) Bus Network & TfGM Services on the 20 January, in Manchester Town Hall.

I spoke at the meeting about this matter and asked them to amend the proposal so it covers residents in Shaw who have been equally affected by the loss of the 58 service that used to run through Shaw to Rochdale but now terminates at Wrens’ Nest.

Since the 59 terminated at Wren’s Nest it has left a significant number of my constituents without a service.  Those living in Dunwood Park Courts, a large section of Milnrow Road, Bridge Street, Railway View; and the bottom of Buckstones Road, Shore Avenue, Higher Park, Park Parade, Cliff Hill Road, Calf Hey and Jordan Avenue.

Following further discussions I had with transport officers after the meeting I am very pleased to report that TfGM have now amended the proposed operating area of this new local link to include this part of Shaw.  See map attached (dotted red line).

Hopefully this should help the many elderly and those without access to their own transport in this part of Shaw.  I would like to thank TfGM Officers for the speed in responding to my request.
