At the request of a number of elderly residents living in the Old Oscott Hill area I have called up on Centro to look into the idea of installing a flag bus stop in Old Oscott Hill somewhere opposite Servite House.
This is due to the fact the 88a which is the only bus which links residents living in Old Oscott Hill to the Kingstanding Circle, does not have a stop between Kingstanding Circle and beyond the Kingfisher Public House on the Corner of Birdbrook Road.
Many elderly residents live in Servite House and else where near by and there are also schools on this road.
If ongoing negotiations with local residents are successful Centro have agreed a small area of hard standing and a bus flag pole will be erected.
The main issue of concern is the amount of parking on the side of the road effected but this is being looked into, however as the 88a only runs hourly during the day it is hoped this problem can be resolved.
Old Oscott Hill is also one of the roads I am asking to have a 20 mph speed limit put on it.
