Fury as essential bus service faces the axe
A local bus service faces being axed in February. The 159 service between Hinckley and Coalville that also serves Newbold Verdon, Barlestone, Market Bosworth and many other local villages, is run by Roberts Coaches and receives a subsidy from Leicestershire County Counciil. The Coach company have announced they are ending the service after Conservatives Councillors withdrew funding.
