BUS SERVICES IN STEPPS - UPDATE

By Rob Stuart, Stepps & District Community Council, on 20 November 2006

In response to threats and proposals to reduce bus services to Stepps, the Community Council has continually voiced its concerns to the service companies since June 2006. Essentially, SPT regard the 32/33 service as commercially unviable, as there is little usage of the service and are seeking to withdraw. However, the social value of the service is invaluable and we have called upon North Lanarkshire Council and the SPT to retain the subsidy. Modification to the route planning of the 36 service, arguably, will effect the whole community to a greater extent. The current proposal is to terminate the service at Moodiesburn/Mollinsburn and expect passengers to change to reach Cumbernauld. Bearing in mind that the 36 is the only through service for Stepps, this is unacceptible as it will compromise the travel of secondary pupils to Our Ladies and people seeking council services in Cumbernauld. So far, despite petitions and Comunity Council initiated press covreage in the local press, First Bus and the SPT have not relented in their proposals to downgrade services. Our next steps will be to lobby Scottish Executive and MSP's.
