Village resident Graham Tate said he believes ECan has been stalling and past meetings had not produced a solution. “They made a promise that they would give us an accessible bus and they haven’t kept that promise.” An ECan spokesperson said this was not the case. “We are not stalling on any decision, it will take time to work through the process and we are still in the stage of working with (city council), Ryman Healthcare and Diana Isaac residents to explore suitable and sustainable solutions.” As of last week, the Orbiter bus service no longer goes along Philpotts Rd, leaving the village residents with very few nearby public transport options. Residents have been fighting since March to have the No 44 bus route adjusted so it would stop at the village. Mr Tate said he had emailed ECan after the last meeting in December to inquire about the next meeting date. •Turn to page 3 Fun in the sun Shirley sisters Sina, 19, Nika, 23, and Lita Lui, 16, made the most of the summer holidays last week with a cooling off at Jellie Park Recreation and Sports Centre. The swimming pool was an ideal place to be as temperatures soared to 28 deg C on Thursday. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER BLINDS...Cleaned, Repaired & Restored...
