REGARDING last week's letter headlined Bus service is ruining village, what a selfish person your correspondent Dick Carbine must be.

His letter on the effects of the 38 bus service passing his house are so exaggerated that they are frankly laughable.

He refers to the "roaring sound" of the bus making his house and windows shake.

We all know that the diesel engine in this bus creates the same level of sound as any similarly powered vehicle.

His house is on a bus route, not an international flight path.

As for his windows shaking could it be that Mr Carbine is complaining about a half-hourly bus service – not a diesel generator placed outside his front door and running 24 hours a day.

To say that since this service commenced "The air is absolutely polluted and the roads are grid- locked" is self-evidently nonsense.

What selfish Mr Carbine does not seem concerned about are the people in the area that rely on public transport; I refer to the elderly, many of whom have walking difficulties, low-paid workers, and parents of small children who don’t own cars.

For them this slight alteration to the bus route is a vast improvement to having to walk to the main road to access a bus, especially through the cold, wind and winter.

There are many social and moral injustices in the world that Mr Carbine could champion.

I suggest that a bus passing his house every half-hour is not one of them.
