Bus route stance is a disgrace

Published: 22 September, 2011

• TRANSPORT for London met myself and councillors for both St Pancras and Somers Town and Cantelowes wards and Camden Council officers last week to discuss the need for the bus route down St Pancras Way, up Pratt Street, across Royal College Street and then down Camden Street and the bus route needed up and down Camley Street.

This would assist residents in Elm Village estate, Agar Grove, and Maiden Lane estate but TfL are still adamant that they cannot install these bus routes.

This means residents in the south of the Elm Village estate, including any new developments there and residents of the Maiden Lane estate, cannot have any bus route and have to walk up and down a dark road to get to King’s Cross etc.

And residents in the new flats in St Pancras Way, where factories and offices existed, still have no bus route and have to walk to Camden Town for a bus route to King’s Cross and the West End.

It is a disgrace and local councillors are intending to take the matter to a higher level of government.
