– in the House of Commons at 9:54 pm on 6 April 2005.
I am sorry to disabuse Mr. Pollard, but this is the last petition of this Parliament. The petition is urged by more than 700 of my constituents and it represents their protest about the removal of the 101 bus service from Walton corner along the A34 to Aston island.
The petition states:
To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled.
The Humble Petition of the residents and bus passengers of Walton, Stone, in the Staffordshire sheweth
That the Petitioners are against the removal of the 101 Bus from Walton Corner along the A34 to Aston Island.
Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your Honourable House will urge the Government to use their influence to persuade First PMT to reconsider, and to restore the 101 bus service to local residents.
And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
To lie upon the Table.
