The future of bus route 7 is being looked into by Southern Vectis

The future of bus route 7 is being looked into by Southern Vectis, who are carrying out a survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Route7survey  Survey Monkey is well respected and the website is safe and secure.  You can also use the Facebook link supplied by Southern Vectis, but some people avoid Facebook so this is the direct link.

Southern Vectis is looking at ways it can improve the bus service on Route 7. Your answers will help us shape... http://t.co/H7cjhYkLAy

You can discuss Route 7 here using the comments box (you don't need to register to leave comments here) but please do the survey which affects all of us here in the Parish of Shalfleet.

The impact would be far wider than Shalfleet - there is also a potential effect on the Wightlink Lymington-Yarmouth ferry and of course the consequential effect on other ferry routes and operators.

I'm emailing this to the Clerk to Shalfleet Parish Council, Mrs Susannah Jennings, for information.  Maybe it'll appear on the agenda of the Parish Council meeting on 12th February.

For the time being(?) Route 7 is not passing through Thorley or Wellow.  I don't have any other details but don't stand waiting for the bus!
