Service 3 and 9 rerouting

John Fareham and John Abbott report that Stagecoach will be rerouting the Services 3 and 9 via Fairfax Avenue during of the roadworks on the Cottingham part of Bricknell Avenue. East Riding Council will begin shortly to dig up the road in places which mean that the bus to Cottingham cannot follow its usual route via St Mary’s Avenue and Bricknell Avenue. Discussions have taken place between ourselves, Stagecoach and officers of both councils resulting in the decision to use the less popular of the possible diversions - less popular with residents there and with us - via Hotham Road North for service 9 during an early stage of the works and, later on, to send service 3 via its earlier route straight up Hall Road. The changes will of course be temporary, which we hope will go some way towards consoling those residents concerned about the welfare of their cars’ wing mirrors; it will, however, temporarily connect Fairfax Avenue with Cottingham and large parts of East Hull.
