Hopes raised over "badly needed" bus service

PROGRESS has been made in the long-running struggle to get a bus running through Chelmund’s Cross.
Concerns that a route did not serve the village centre were raised by residents earlier this year.
Solihull Council has said that it has been in discussions with Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) about introducing a service.
It’s understood that two different options are under consideration with a decision due by September.
One of the possibilities would see the launch of a new shuttle bus, linking local communities to Chelmsley town centre’s interchange.
Coun David Cole (Lab, Kingshurst & Fordbridge) said a better bus service for North Solihull was “badly needed.”
“We are pretty hopeful following the meeting we have had that we might get somewhere with [TfWM] this time.”
