Hotham Road North buses


John Fareham and John Abbott  have further news in the campaign about buses causing traffic problems and vibration by travelling along Hotham Road North.

East Riding Council decided to alter the West Bulls junction making it impossible for a bus to turn right from Bricknell Avenue and enter onto Cottingham Road reluctantly forcing the Bus companies to re-route.  We undertook to talk to senior people at County Hall because the local ERYC councillors support retaining the remodelling, just as the council officers do.  In an interesting turn of events the meeting request was turned down because they consider the junction works for them, and because we had not attended a meeting, in 2015, with people who couldn't make a decision, which we had not been consulted over the timing of anyway.   Had we been consulted we could have told them we would have been unable to attend as we had other meetings! Nevertheless, they made the ridiculous offer that if we paid they would consider alterations which is the clearest indication yet they know the junction is flawed. Duly we discussed this with the Guildhall’s Portfolio Holder who said, and we can’t blame him, funds would not be spent here.
