Petition updateReintroduce direct bus service from Peterborough to MarchBIG NEWS: Council Leader responds & Media alerted!

We have had an incredible 24 hours! Not only are we approaching over 70 signatures, but I have already received a direct response from Cllr Chris Boden, the Chairman of the CPCA Transport Committee.

The Good News: Cllr Boden has confirmed he "wholly agrees" that a through-service to Peterborough is a better option for residents.

The Challenge: He highlighted that "legal and commercial competition" rules currently prevent the X32 from competing with Stagecoach on the Whittlesey-to-Peterborough stretch. This is exactly the kind of "red tape" our campaign needs to break through.

Next Steps: > 1. I have formally submitted our case and Cllr Boden’s response to the Peterborough Telegraph to bring public pressure to this issue.

2. I have proposed a "Limited Stop/Express" workaround to the Council to bypass the competition hurdles.

We are no longer just a petition; we are a conversation at the highest level of local government. Please keep sharing the link—reaching 100 signatures will be our next major leverage point to show the Council we mean business!

 

Onwards,

Kornel
