4. New Bus Service, Monday 16th
October
The timetables for the new 53
and 54 services, which operate between Eckington and Worcester via Birlingham
Church, come into effect on Monday 16th October.
As the two services
follow different routes, we have summarised the times for the main destinations
in a single timetable, which can be viewed at www.birlingham.org/docs/
bus_timetable_2017_oct.pdf.
The full timetables for the new services
are available at www.birlingham.org/docs/bus_timetable_53_2017.pdf
and www.birlingham.org/docs/bus_timetable_54_2017.pdf
. The timetable for the new X50 and 51 services, which do not come through
Birlingham but provide additional connections from Pershore to Worcester and
Evesham, are at www.birlingham.org/docs/bus_timetable_X50_51_2017.pdf
.
Car drivers are asked not to obstruct the narrow road running past
the church gate, as this is the route used by the
buses.
-------------------------------------------------------
5. Fire Safety
We have received two leaflets from Hereford & Worcester Fire and
Rescue Service regarding fire safety.
The first leaflet provides
information about fire safety and gives the number to call for free fire safety
advice. The leaflet can be viewed at www.birlingham.org/docs/fire_safety_2017_1.pdf.
The
second leaflet gives advice on avoiding chimney fires. This leaflet is available
at www.birlingham.org/docs/fire_safety_2017_2.pdf.
