As a District and County Councillor and campaigner against coaches in my ward I would like to add my support to the campaign against the extra tour busses in the Town and Shottery.
Although the District Council has authority over each extra horse drawn coach it or the County Council has no say in an extra 10 or 20 coaches touring the district. This dates back to a poorly constructed bill on de regulation of buses by the Tory Government of the 1980's.
I urge the campaigners to keep up the good work. As a councillor for the area I will put a motion to the next District Council to urge the Labour Government to amend this legislation.
COUNCILLOR RON COCKINGS, Shottery, Stratford
