The Number 4 bus service operated by National Express is being scrapped at the end of January 2009 and is being replaced by the 6A bus service, but this will no longer serve Cheswick Green or Baxters Green and instead will go via Cranmore before continuing on its usual route into Solihull via Monkspath and Widney Manor. This will mean that Cheswick Green will lose its direct link to Widney Manor Station, Solihull Sixth Form College and Shirley Town Centre, as well as the direct link to Birmingham. Many bus users are dismayed by this proposal. On Mondays to Fridays, National Express propose diverting the 166 bus service, which currently runs from Blythe Valley Park to Solihull Town Centre via Blossomfield Road, to serve Cheswick Green on a half hourly basis. This will be a fast service between Cheswick Green and Solihull Town Centre, with only one stop at peak times. However, at off-peak times the buses may go via Blythe Valley between Cheswick Green and Solihull Town Centre adding about 10 minutes to the journey. This is not likely to be received well by users. At evenings and weekends, Cheswick Green will be served by the hourly S8 bus service. This would be a huge blow to Cheswick Green as the number 4 bus service currently operates half hourly at weekends. The new S8 bus service will operate hourly between Cheswick Green and Solihull Town Centre, and vice versa, via Dickens Heath, Baxters Green, the Stratford Road, Hillfield and Solihull Town Centre. The operator of this service is to be confirmed.

Following the success of the Bath trip we organised a trip to Liverpool in November. 27 of us had a great day out and I must say the Albert Dock area and museums were really good. I really enjoyed the Maritime museum of which I had heard great reports.
In December this year we will be holding not one but TWO Children's Christmas Parties, one for age 2-4 and one for the 5-11's. Date will be Sunday 14th December. We hope this will enable even our youngest residents to be involved. Further information will be available nearer the time but once again tickets will be FREE.
