REGARDING the letter from J Rutter, of Queensway, Kearsley, in the BEN on November 3. I wrote to Greater Manchester Passenger Transport when the bus routes were changed recently. I asked for GMPTE to look into providing 'small bus' feeder services on the Rivers, Mossfield and Pilkington Road estates of Kearsley.

Their reply "we are aware that ideally some form of feeder bus or taxibus would be of assistance to local residents. We will keep your request in mind should an opportunity to provide such a facility present itself."

We now have to try and create the opportunity.
