Oxfordshire County Council has been in touch with local Parish Councils to notify everyone that they are reviewing contracts for subsidised bus routes. In their letter the number 63 route, which connects Hinton and Longworth with Oxford, is noted as “entire service is under review”. This appears to suggest that they may consider discontinuing this service altogether. Any such change would take place in June 2015.
If you, or anyone you know in the village, is likely to be significantly affected by the loss of the number 63 bus service, please get in touch with any of the Parish Councillors and let them know of your concerns. Parish councils must get their comments in to OCC by 15 November, so please don’t delay.
