Local LIb Dem ward councillor Darren Fower has said “… local bus services for South Werrington and North Gunthorpe must be accessible, reliable and comfortable if patronage for buses is to continue to increase in the coming years.”
Cllr Fower who has long campaigned for additional bus shelters on this area and the maintaining of the local link bus service, says his aim is to ensure that every bus stop at least has a shelter and ideally one with seating were possible.
Darren has also told us that he hopes to see the introduction of a regular double decker service along the Number 2 service for North Gunthorpe in the near future.
Commenting Darren added:
“Years of underfunding in Peterborough and a lack of effective integrated planning in our transport network by the Tories has left it in need of substantial improvements.
“Transport contributes significantly to the country’s carbon emissions. Liberal Democrats have long championed putting the passenger at the heart of the system, allowing investment in the long term future of and delivering a greener public transport system that we can all be proud of.”

But as some of our stories effect residents in the southern sectors odf the electoral ward Werrington North, local resident Richard Stratton, who lives along Staniland Way felt strongly that local people deserved to be kept in formed, as there are no Labour or Tory or regular Independent Newsletters to help keep people informed.
