Services 3 / 3A - Priory Heights Estate

Due to road re-surfacing works in Priory Heights, Hill Road and Filching Road bus services 3 and 3A have had to be withdrawn on a temporary basis from this area of the town.

Although every effort will be made to run the service to and from the old turning point in Filching Road this is currently congested with contractors equipment and therefore the service has also been withdrawn from the Central Avenue area until this problem can be resolved. The works are scheduled to take up to three weeks.

Further information will be posted here when known.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by these roadworks which are totally outside our control.
