Message from SPARK:

Dear all

Despite all our efforts, we have now received written confirmation from Swindon Borough Council that the Groundwell P&R will be mothballed from 31 May 2009, with the last service running on 30 May 2009.

Whilst this decision is extremely disappointing, Thamesdown Transport has confirmed that they will be running a new service, the Priory Vale Express, no12 , aimed at North Swindon commuters, from 1 June. The service will run from Oakhurst and Abbey Meads to Fleming Way via Cricklade Road with limited stops between 07.10 and 08.40 in the morning and 16.35 and 18.05 in the evening. However, please note that the Priory Vale service is being run as a 'trial' and the council has not confirmed how long the 'trial' period will be.

Finally Lindsay and I would like to thank everyone who has supported us in this campaign. We will now be taking a back seat over the summer and hope to pick up the campaign in October/November when the council will be setting budgets for 2010.

If anyone wishes to keep in touch with us, please continue to write to us at the SPARK email address ~(spark2009@hotmail.co.uk).

Best regards

Sara Spinks
