Transport
Problems In The
Moor Park / New York Area (pt2)
- Bus Report

Highlight Points
Transport is one of the most vital services to any community and involves
all partnership boards.
Life Long Learning
The emphasis today is on learning from the cradle to the grave, how can
small communities get the benefit of this if they have no transport to
reach learning centres.
Health
At a time when patients can be sent to any hospital for treatment regular
direct transport is important, remember that people are attending hospitals
because they are ill.
Regeneration / Social Inclusion
It is in regenerated areas that sports complexes, leisure facilities,
cinemas and shopping precincts are to be found. How do small communities
access these outlets without decent affordable transport.
Safer Communities
People who travel either by bus or metro and then find they have to walk
along badly lit, lonely roads are being put at risk. This particularly
applies to evenings.
Environment & Transport
All communities deserve clean reliable services with shelter from the
elements. This is particularly true of small communities where the unemployed,
elderly and one-parent families live side by side, and who must travel
to access other services such as shops, banks, jobs centres and other
amenities not on their doorstep.
Whether you live in the centre of town or in a rural area good transport
links are vital. They should be not be gauged by the number of users but
on a need to get from A - B quickly, safely and at reasonable cost to
the public.
Last Metro From Monument
The following example demonstrates how isolated Moor Park / New York is.
It is just one of many possible examples:
Arriving: |
North Shields |
via Wallsend |
at 11.35pm |
has no 356 bus connection. |
Arriving: |
Shiremoor |
via Gosforth |
at 11.35pm |
has no 356 bus connection. |
