East of Kingsbridge, or a vision in a bus service

In South Devon
did the council
a stately bus service decree!
err…
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
Or, as the county council press release puts it: “The Coleridge community bus service is to benefit from funding provided by Devon County Council’s South Hams County Committee.”
It seems Kingsbridge & Stokenham County Councillor Julian Brazil had a vision. “We have no public transport in many of our local villages” he told the PRSD. “This service is run by volunteers and is invaluable to many residents. I will take every opportunity to support services that help to keep our rural communities alive.”
And support them he did, through a proposal to the South Hams County Committee which ended up with a grant of £2,000 towards the cost of the service - the only transport link for many villages east of Kingsbridge.

Hooray for the local bus service! There’s too little of this going on - have you added your voice to the ‘Electric Bus’ proposals at Dartington yet?
