Kramer Calls For Residents To Express Their Views On Shene School Bus Plans

• SUSAN Kramer has secured agreement from Transport for London to look again at a new proposal to solve the problems at Shene School.

Transport for London had initially dismissed the plan because it would result in residents waiting two minutes longer for a 33 bus between 3 pm and 4 pm (from eight minutes to ten minutes). While Transport for London look again at the plan, Susan Kramer is asking local residents to let her know their views. She commented: "I want to know whether local residents would prefer a small two minute increase in waiting time between 3 pm and 4 pm to the current congestion of youngsters waiting at bus stops and on the buses during this hour. Diverting two buses requires no extra money, and in return for a slightly longer wait, passengers would get a much more comfortable journey. Eliminating tensions at the bus stop would significantly ease the already improving relations between the school and the local community, and provide a good start for the new Academy when it opens."
