We should have a much better bus service now but unfortunately this has greatly been reduced recently and stops at 6pm and does not run at all on Sundays. The current service is woefully insufficient and there are no guarantees it will improve in the event of the development

I am not sure how this can be guaranteed. This is solely at the whim of bus companies and Scraptoft has already seen the loss of a bus service on Station Road despite a new housing development. There is also no evening or Sunday bus service. Have bus companies been consulted, has there been a show of interest. Will the developer have to subsidise a service if no bus company is interested.

This is a promise dependant on the whims of bus companies as we have seen with the withdrawal of a bus service on Station Lane Scraptoft, despite new housing development. Have bus companies been consulted as to whether they would be willing to provide this service. Would the developer need to subsidise this. At present there is no evening or Sunday bus service in Scraptoft.

As bus services have already or are in the process of being cut or further restricted serving our village and along the A47 how can we have confidence in these proposals? How can we have faith that Harborough can provide this 20 min frequency bus service when it is allowing important bus services to constantly be under threat? E.g. the 747 bus along the A47. See attached sheet for further details of why not fit for purpose.

Scraptoft should remain a village, this frequency is only appropriate of areas that in city boundary

This is essential. Recent cuts in the already poor bus services into the City of Leicester and within the PUA have greatly reduced provision for the local community.

The location is already well-served by public transport and extending the current services into the site can be achieved relatively easily and discussions are already underway with operators.
