RE The Hopper bus, I would just like to say I totally agree and stand with Helen and Jeff Osborn in all they said, I personally feel for all the old, vulnerable and disabled people that rely on this service.

My husband is one of the drivers of the buses and knows how much they value and need this service, and how upset he is at the decisions made as he has to hear of the worry in the people who use it about how they are going to now get to the hospital. Some live in areas where they do not even have access to local transport. I just hope all the people that have made this decision can sleep at night with a clear minds and when they get old they can find it easy to get to hospital appointments when they need it and can't drive and have to try to use public transport rather than have a door to door service.

Can I just say how sorry I also feel for the Link who are already pushed to the limit and will have to now pick up the patients who use the Hopper service and may even have to turn people away due to lack of volunteers they have and how bad that is going to make them feel. So it all leaves me to say is thank you so much NOT to all the people who have made such a huge mistake in the this decision.

Mrs Gunn
