Have your say on Medbourne's bus services

Leicestershire County Council are proposing to replace Medbourne's bus services with "Demand Responsive Transport". To see what this involves, including new days for the bus services to Harborough, go to the Leicestershire County Council Transport Consultation Page. Of the many links on the page select the last one Rural Rider - various Services in East Leicestershire. The deadline for responses is 9th July 2012. Contrary to previous news on this web site, the Leicester buses are currently still running in spite of passengers being informed in March that services were about to be axed, see Public Transport. However, the consultation document does not propose any Leicester buses from Medbourne so it is presumed that these will stop once the consultation is complete.

Medbourne is an ancient village with a medieval stone bridge over a brook, a beautiful church and a traditional pub. Medbourne was originally a Roman settlement, on the route from Leicester to Colchester. The village lies in a valley carved out by the Medbourne Brook, which is a tributary of the river Welland.

Nowadays, Medbourne is a conservation area whose historic stone cottages, large elegant houses and leafy walks combine to make the village one of the most picturesque in the Welland Valley.
