LOCHHEAD CALLS ON STAGECOACH TO ENCORPORATE ROSEISLE INTO NUMBER 32 BUS ROUTE

Moray MSP Richard Lochhead has urged Stagecoach to consider a minor modification to the current Number 32 bus route which would see the village of Roseisle included in the route and provide local residents with greater options to travel by bus. 

The route currently turns off at the Maltings crossroads, with local residents keen to see a small change that would see the bus stop off in Roseisle before continuing onto Burghead.

Mr Lochhead and local councillor, Neil Cameron, are calling on Stagecoach to listen to the proposals from the local community and do all they can to restore a bus service to Roseisle.

Commenting, Richard Lochhead MSP said:

"Bringing bus services back to Roseisle was an issue raised by several of my constituents who came along to my recent surgery in Roseisle and it's clear how important this is for the community.

"This addition would greatly benefit Roseisle, enhancing accessibility and offering local residents more options for travel, as well as allowing others from nearby communities to travel into Roseisle.

“With free bus travel for under 22s and over 60s in Scotland creating new opportunities and reducing financial barriers, I hope Stagecoach consider this change and do all they can to make this happen.”

Cllr Neil Cameron added:

"It's important that small communities have access to bus services and a minor tweak to the existing bus route is all that's needed here to allow folk in Roseisle to use the service.

"By incorporating Roseisle into the bus network, this would deliver efficient and accessible transportation solutions and demonstrate a dedication to meeting the needs of passengers."
