I agree with the letter in your April 2 edition, “Neglected and deprived of bus service on Woodlane”.

There are certainly parts of Falmouth that are under served by buses, but let’s not blame the universities for that. They have brought huge benefits to the area, and I want to help them be part of the solution to this problem.

I will therefore be meeting with university officials to talk about how they could plug some of the gaps in bus services for local people. After all, the academics and students who share our towns actively want a stronger and fairer society too.
