In order to help my wife & myself get assistance from where we live, I would like to know of the number of days that we were not able to use the one and only bus R8. Our nearest b us stop is at street shelter No. 01062937. Because of the R8 being redirected, leaving Jail lane without a service. As an example I would wish to use, |I think that from 2016, 2017 and up to this June of 2018 that it adds up to approx. 30 days. Although I am requesting this information, it is not to be used against the council.
