After several years of asking, regular evening and Sunday bus services have been introduced on James Reckitt Avenue. “Many local people have been asking for an extended service in the Garden Village and James Reckitt Avenue area for some time,” said Anjie.

The service has been introduced by Stagecoach, as part of the number 53 bus service - but at the moment it is just a trial. “Services have been withdrawn by bus companies in the past, due to low numbers,” added Linda. “It’s important the service is well used during the trial so Stagecoach are persuaded to keep it on.”
