Recent proposals show the new express bus service to Heathrow won't stop in Harefield
Residents in the village of Harefield in the London Borough of Hillingdon are up in arms after it was revealed recently that a new fast track bus service to Heathrow won’t be stopping in the village.
Some locals have expressed concerned that they are being “cut out” of the plans and feel as though they’ve been “left out in the cold.” Others have reacted angrily saying, “Do they not think people in Harefield go on holiday and want to get to Heathrow?”
Under the new plans proposed by Hillingdon Council and Transport for London, two express bus routes to Heathrow are being prepared, neither of which will run through Harefield.
The proposal is currently undergoing a consultation period through a local publication, the Hillingdon People Magazine. However at a recent resident’s meeting, many locals complained that they hadn’t received their copy of the magazine.
Although there are a number of bus services running east to west across the village of Harefield, there are scare amount running from north to south.
Local campaigners are urging the residents to join together to fight for improved public transport links through the village. It’s hoped that if these grievances are made known to the council, they can influence Transport for London to make vital changes to the bus travel in the area.
Hillingdon Council are seeking feedback from locals in regard to the proposed bus service. Those who wish to respond need to do so before February 15th either in writing to the council, or through their website.
