'What about us?' The villagers feeling forgotten about in bus plans
Residents in Buckshaw Village say they have been forgotten about in plans for new subsidised bus services which will be running through parts of Chorley from next week.
Lancashire County Council and Chorley Council stepped in to jointly fund two new routes after Stagecoach announced that it was scrapping the 109A service which runs from Chorley to Leyland, taking in Astley and Buckshaw villages along the way.
While the replacement routes will once again provide a bus through Astley – which would otherwise have been cut off – Buckshaw will be without a direct substitute for the service which it is losing.
