Please pass on my congrats to whoever it is who made sure that the new Milton Keynes bus timetable is up on all the relevant bus stops.  I've been using this new service on my visits and it is so far, so good, but a shame it does a circuit rather than an out-and-back as it reduces the number of buses running from Budgens towards Broad Green.  Also a shame that it doesn't extend to the railway station except for the first and last bus of the day.

Re your update about the village centre bus shelters and Amey - it seems every time a shelter is put somewhere it is needed, the operator and the route change yet again!  Whatever you do is wrong. How to keep up?  Can't offer a solution for you really, sorry.

Re garden waste bags - our local authority here in Cheshire, now provide a wheelie bin for all recyclables (glass, paper, card, metal, plastic) plus another for garden waste, both collected fortnightly.  Brilliant.  We only have one supermarket bag of 'other' rubbish to go in the normal bin now. They started with boxes and bags but they and their lids ended up all over the place, so after recycling day you had to go on a long walk to try and retrieve bits and pieces.  In fact we gained as we have a garage full of very useful boxes that blew into our drive at various times, and we could never find out whose they were.  Hope you can persuade them to choose wheelie bins for all their waste, to keep the place tidy and help householders.

Thanks for these thoughts, very positive and thought provoking. My garden waste bags will probably be hitting Cheshire some time soon. Can you keep an eye out for them?
