There is a consultation underway, and one of the proposed cuts is the 208 bus (Go coach) service  that runs between East Peckham and Pembury, via Golden Green, Tonbridge and Pembury Hospital. This is the only bus service through East Peckham and Golden Green and should it be removed, the impact will be immense. Many elderly residents, as well as school children, rely on this bus service to get to Tonbridge to go to school, the shops and most importantly Tunbridge Wells hospital. There is also no longer a doctors surgery in East Peckham, so residents have to travel outside the village. Not everyone has a car. 
To those who look at the consultation document, it's important to note it misleadingly says that although the 208 Go-Coach service will be withdrawn, ‘a parallel 208 service on this route will continue to be provided by Autocar’. However, the Autocar service only runs between Tonbridge and Pembury, missing out Golden Green entirely. This means there will be no direct public transport from GG to Tunbridge Wells Hospital. And to reach a bus stop, residents will have an unsafe walk along Three Elm Lane or Victoria Rd, which have no pavements.  Please save the 208 Bus service.
