Over, Then

Sent a month ago, this letter of mine appears in this month's Village Voice, having been overtaken by events, making it all the more imperative to elect Jamie Driscoll in 2028:

Both Luke Akehurst MP and Councillor Doug Oliver are right to raise the issue of the buses, and I am sure that we are all grateful for the work that they and others are doing. The return fare has gone up to five pounds (it would have been six if Jamie Driscoll had not run Kim McGuinness so close for Mayor and was not clearly planning to stand again), but the Durham Day Rover ticket is still only four pounds, so if your journey would not involve leaving County Durham, then buy that. Of course, there does have to be a bus at all. Over, then, to our MP and to our Councillors.
