flag Residents of White Notley demand the return of their weekly bus to Braintree, citing unreliable on-demand service issues.

flag Residents of White Notley are urging the return of their weekly bus service after Essex County Council replaced the 345 route with DigiGo, a bookable on-demand service introduced in July 2024. flag Many elderly and vulnerable residents report the new system is unreliable, hard to use without internet access, and unable to accommodate shopping or mobility aids. flag Despite expanded coverage and a high customer satisfaction rating claimed by the council, frequent cancellations, poor communication, and booking difficulties have left people stranded, especially during holidays. flag A survey by Councillor Ross Playle confirmed widespread dissatisfaction with the service’s consistency. flag Residents continue to call for a reliable, predictable weekly bus to Braintree to maintain access to essential services and social connections.
