As Hanslope still has a bus service, is DRT (the shuttle bus) available to our residents? Adele Wearing (MK Council Transport) confirms: The whole of Milton Keynes borough, including Hanslope is included in the scheme. Offer of a demand responsive trip or a bus route will depend on the exact journey and the availability of a fixed bus route to provide it. If the journey requested cannot be fulfilled by public bus at that time then an MK Connect trip will be offered. This can vary even on a bus route depending on when the bus is due. If people have mobility issues meaning they can’t access nearby bus routes they are being directed to, they can give us a call on 01908 252526 and we add a note to their account so they get offered the appropriate rides. See attached PDF for 'How to Book'.
LATEST ON CASTLETHORPE ROAD (08/04/2021): Currently there are works on going at Hanslope Castlethorpe Road for the Bloor Homes development. There is a road closure in place for the construction of a number of traffic calming features, drainage, footway, kerb and resurfacing works. Due to issues with delivery of tarmac surface materials for site, It has been agreed by Highways that the road closure for this section of road will be extended over the weekend to allow for the completion of the works. Over the weekend the road closure will be in affect from 0930-1630 to allow for the surfacing of carriageway and new traffic calming features. Senior Engineer - Highway Adoptions - [email protected]

Books in Bus Shelter: It has come to our attention that books are being left in the bus shelter in the Market Square. Whilst this may be happening with the best of intentions, no permission has been requested from the PC and we understand that the books are now numerous. Sadly they also present an infection risk. Please remove the books over the next few days or we will have to remove them and dispose of them. The PC is currently discussing the establishment of a pop-up library in the village and the discussion will continue at our meeting next week, where we hope to make progress. Thank you.

Message from our local PCSO: Phone 101 and report any problems with anti-social behaviour, abandoned vehicles etc. Then the PCSO can go and investigate. No matter how small the crime is, residents must call it in to 101 and then the PCSO will be instructed to deal with it. If we as a village don't call in crimes/issues, it will be presumed that all is a haven of peace. We might even have our new PCSO diverted elsewhere and we need him here. Thanks.
