The 3/3A Arriva Bus Service has been extended to Eagle Farm and Glebe Farm, thanks to extensive lobbying from Cllr David Hopkins and Cllr Victoria Hopkins.
The extended service will begin on 14th April and include the usual stops at Broughton,Kingston, Magna Park and the City Centre alongside the new stops at Glebe Farm and EagleFarm.
Cllr David Hopkins, Ward Councillor for Danesborough and Walton comments
‘We have been lobbying for this rerouted service for some time and thank Arriva for listening to the demands of local people for improved connectivity to the rest of MK. The experience of Eagle Farm South and Glebe Farm residents serves to highlight the very real need to adhere to our much-promoted policy of Infrastructure before Expansion (I before E) to ensure public
transport services are available as soon as homes are built rather than having to wait over six years, as has been the case for Eagle Farm South and Glebe Farm residents’.
Cllr Victoria Hopkins, Ward Councillor for Danesborough & Walton ward which includes Eagle Farm and Glebe Farm, added
‘I have dealt with numerous resident enquiries and concerns which often come back to social isolation, loneliness and depression caused by the lack of affordable connectivity for residents in Eagle Farm South and Glebe Farm to shops, medical facilities (including the hospital) and general social and leisure interaction. Arriva, having listened to our pleas to reroute the 3/3a, are to be congratulated and we look forward to residents in these parts of our Wavendon finally having affordable, timetabled access to all that MK has to offer’.
