Changes to bus route are ‘completely unacceptable’

Northumberland County Council’s business chairman Coun Scott Dickinson has described the changes as ‘completely unacceptable’. He said: “This removes the ability for elderly people to access the doctors or indeed hospital appointments without travelling to Morpeth first. “The alternative service does not enter Hadston; it stops at the road entrance, cutting off key amenities in Hadston that serve older people. “We’ve received complaints from residents about the changes and a simple trip to Ashington will turn into a four-bus journey which is simply not practical. We will be taking this issue up with Arriva.”
