Many residents have contacted Labour Campaigner Marlene Quinn expressing their dismay at Arriva's changes to local bus routes. Thanks to Marlene and Cllr Marie Rimmer's lobbying Merseytravel agreed to fund the number 170 (off peak) every 65 minutes.This was something but clearly not enough. After further lobbying Arriva agreed to meet Marie and Marlene on site after which they agreed to re route the 10C from 3rd Sept, this would once again provide a half hourly service along Dunriding Lane, Crossley Rd and Stafford Rd.
The 10C has now been renumbered the number 39 and the service has been extended to Broadgreen Hospital. Arriva apologised to Marie for inadequate advance notification of
the change in bus numbers.
Marlene Quinn said "The withdrawal of buses from Dunriding Lane, Stafford Rd and Crossley Rd had left a lot of residents stranded, particularly the elderly who struggled climbing Stafford Rd and Dunriding Lane, thank goodness our campaigning finally paid off “
