Option C has not been submitted by any council. Options D and E don’t meet the Government’s criteria, or the previously-agreed view of our area’s council leaders that three councils would be too many to be sustainable. But it’s now a matter of waiting for the Government to announce the shortlist of options on which it will consult in the spring, and its final decision in the summer. BUS SERVICES UPDATE The new bus timetable between Little Downham and Ely is set to start in January. In good news, the new service will be more frequent and will serve the whole length of Lawn Lane in Little Downham. Disappointingly, however, the new timetable as currently advertised won’t serve Tesco in Ely, and the last bus will leave Ely at 4:40PM which won’t meet the needs of Little Downham residents who work in Ely. The Thursday bus from Wardy Hill and Coveney to Ely will no longer operate as a scheduled service, but you can book the same journey using Tiger On Demand. You can book a regular Thursday trip to Ely, or travel on any other day the service operates. You can scan the QR code to download the Tiger On Demand app on the Play Store or App Store.
Alternatively you can visit www.tigerondemand.co.uk or call 01480 595440 and make your booking over the phone. The call centre is open Monday to Saturday from 6:00AM to 7:30PM. I’m working with the Combined Authority in the hope of achieving an arrangement for residents from our villages to be able to book the Tiger on Demand service to Sutton so that they can use the GP service at Priors Field. 8
