Sustainable Bus Service for the residents of the Coombe Road and Meadowview areas
This service should:
1. Run regularly, at least every 30 minutes, from 7:00am until 11.30 pm every day, including weekends and bank holidays.
2. Follow a common-sense route and a route passengers want to take; at a minimum a shuttle service connecting our area with all other Lewes Road bus services, or a longer service - to Churchill Square, Brighton station or London Road, returning the same route.
3. The Citywide live bus display and mobile app system must include this service.
This area, with a population of around 5,000 residents within three miles of the city centre, is suffering from a 50% reduction in bus services with evening services reduced to one bus every 75 minutes. Meadowview is a mile from Lewes Road and can only be accessed via a steep hill. This impacts negatively on the lives of residents, many of whom have young families or are elderly or disabled, with no other means of transport.
