I could not agree more with Mrs M Bewick (How can we bring area bus boost?, Soapbox, May 4). I have written on behalf of a group of people for the same reason, a bus to cover the top half of Burton Stone Lane on to Bootham into town, a very neglected area for transport.

The last person I wrote to was Hugh Bayley. He did pass our message on, and I received a copy of the one he received from the powers that be. No way did we want to take transport away from the hospital. I’m hoping in time this area will be covered.
