I AM very concerned that Oxfordshire County Council is thinking about stopping the subsidy for the No.17 bus that runs through Cutteslowe and Jericho.

There are so many elderly and disabled people that use this bus. If this bus is stopped, there is no way that these residents can walk up to the end of Hairfields or Harbord Road on to the Oxford Road to catch the Kidlington buses to Summertown or the city centre.

If this bus is stopped, they will be stranded in their own homes which does not seem very fair as they need to be able to go out.

Let’s hope that the council will change its mind for the elderly, disabled and others that use this bus.
