The number 7 bus service has over the past few weeks been a bit hit and miss due to no service sometimes throughout the days.

Cllr Hawley has been in touch with the bus company in which theirs response is below:

Dear Claire,
I am sorry to hear of the difficulties being experienced by the residents of your parish, and offer apologies for any inconvenience suffered to date.
I am aware that there have been issues on several of our services recently due to vehicle shortages, due to the delays in parts deliveries. We are just about back on top of these issues.
There has also been a supervisory issue regarding the number 7 that operates from Barnsley at 5.50pm. This service has been operated for sometime by a regular couple of drivers that operate from our coaching department.
One of these drivers has been seriously ill, and the other, his partner, has been off work caring for him. Although the coaching supervisor covered their coaching work it appears that there was a miscommunication with the bus Supervisor and that left this service at this time, uncovered.
Following a passenger complaint that I investigated, this mistake was discovered and the service is now back operational at this time.
We, and other operators are all experiencing delays in parts deliveries due to the ongoing shortages, however for a smaller operator like us this causes significant problems as we do not have the number of ‘spare’ vehicles larger operators do.
We have however, bought two new vehicles to increase the number of spare vehicles on the fleet in order to rectify the remaining service issues, and as parts arrive they are being fitted and vehicles are returning to the road.
Again I apologise for any inconveniences that have been caused recently, and assure you that we are working as hard as we can to provide the reliable punctual service that Globe expect and your residents deserve.
Your Sincerely,
Alex

Question raised to the Parish Council.

A parishioner has contacted the Parish Council to contact RMBC, to ask  if the footpaths through the village could be gritted or cleared as they are almost impossible to walk on & the volume of traffic & narrow road makes it difficult to walk on the roadside.

RMBC response:

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue

 At this moment we are only concentrating on main routes for emergency services and buses.

We will only treat secondary routes as resources allow. Individual requests for gritting are assessed once we are satisfied that the priority routes are clear, and traffic is flowing.

Unfortunately, limited resources in severe winter weather mean that we cannot respond to all requests for gritting.

Grit bins are positioned around Rotherham for you to use on roads and paths.
