Petitions

Valerie Vaz Excerpts

Wednesday 2nd July 2014 Commons Chamber

[Valerie Vaz (Walsall South) (Lab)]

The petition is from the residents of Beacon Heights park homes. A petition in similar terms has been signed by 65 people.

The petition states:

The Petition of a resident of Beacon Heights Park Homes Park,

Declares that following the removal of the 934 and 936 bus services from Beacon Road, Walsall after 7pm and on Sundays many elderly people who do not drive cannot access public transport at those times and further that the Petitioner calls for a bus service or minibus to be introduced to replace the 934 and 936 bus service.

The Petitioner therefore requests that the House of Commons urges the Government to take all possible steps to encourage Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council to consider the objections of the local residents.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.

[P001363]

[Mr Speaker]

It is a splendid thing when somebody who introduces a petition has a brother behind her in support.
