The Herald’s ‘Save our Bus’ story - what hypocrisy!

Posted by Ricky in Opinion under on Nov 22 2007

Dear Editor,
The ‘Save our Bus’ story, November 8th edition, was hypocrisy personified.

It showed people protesting against the withdrawal of the bus which serves Southwick Square from the Holmbush stores - a Number 9. Whilst this service is a great loss to many among the disabled and elderly, so too would be the loss of Adur Community Transport.

The people you portray in your picture include councillors who are currently taking steps to discontinue Adur support for Adur Community Transport which is provided for those unable to use of find public transport to suit their requirements.

Adur is withholding the annual grant to the Community Transport - an attack on those who cannot use Public Transport. The same Council is stopping discounts for the elderly and those on benefits who have bulk rubbish to move.

This is said to align us with Worthing! Why not align Worthing with us and so improve life for them.

Yours faithfully

Peter Berry

Child of the post-war baby boom. Spent childhood summers on Shoreham Beach. Came of age in the Sixties. Got on my bike in ''79 when Mrs Thatcher won, and rode-off for France and Spain. Enrolled at University in Bordeaux, learned to teach French as a Foreign Language, discovered that we are an integral part of the astonishing tapestry of European Culture, that our differences, so large to us, are invisibly small to the world outside. Found Shoreham again in 1986 and moved down permanently in 1990 with Sally where we have grown up with two wonderful daughters.
