Sir, PCC are about to cut the Coastal Cruiser winter bus service from three days weekly to one bus on a Saturday.

This means that the elderly, especially those who live in Angle, have no access to a bank due to the fact that the bus only runs on a Saturday. The caring bus driver who goes out of his way to be helpful, regaling us all with a potted history of interesting places on route and dropping off disabled and frail people’s shopping, has had his contract cut by a third.

The hikers and cyclists who use the bus in September - and there are many - are now prevented from using it.

Those who own a caravan in Angle and cannot drive can only visit on a Saturday, unless they want to book a taxi from Pembroke to Angle, which by the way will set them back £60 (£30 each way)

Angle no longer has a school, a shop, a post office or an ATM and from next year a chargeable car park and no bus. Well done PCC and particularly the cabinet member for tourism whose excuse for axing the winter service is lack of funding. The bus is always packed!

PCC’s mission statement reads ‘we will work together to help provide support and services for Pembrokeshire people and visitors to the county’.

You couldn’t make it up.

Melanie Phillips,

Pembroke.
