Portchester Labour Party is deeply concerned about the lack of a bus service serving Dore Avenue. Since the removal of the service in the spring residents have found it even more difficult to get around. Added to this the cutting of a direct service through the north of Portchester to Fareham has meant many residents are stuck without decent public transport. The only way for people to travel to Fareham is to walk down to Linden Lea to catch a bus to Portchester precinct. Then travel on to Fareham. Of course on their return they are faced with a steep uphill walk which many find if not impossible then very difficult.
Labour calls on the County Council to make good the subsidy which Portsmouth City Council removed. This will allow an acceptable service to be reinstated.
