00:21locals here say that's not good enough well i think i mean the bus service is so shocking
00:27anyway but um you know anything that's going to impact that has to be thought about i mean
00:33i'm not anti new development but there's got to be the infrastructure there
00:36cutting the service would make it even worse especially for pensioners a lot of them don't
00:41drive they don't have the the means to get out of the village so cutting that service would be even
00:47worse and even worse with more houses here plans for the development were previously rejected by
00:53the planning inspector and local planning authority in part due to a lack of bus connectivity
01:02critics here say the proposed diversion is a cynical way to get the plans approved
01:09but a taylor wimpy spokesperson says that the proposed changes will strengthen the existing
01:16service by bringing additional passengers to the route and will help to improve long-term viability
