Many people praise Roger French (Letters, March 12) for the service given by Brighton and Hove buses.

However, the people in Withdean and Westdene do not feel the same. Mr French is letting us down by cancelling the No 35 service in April - our one and only bus to the shops in London Road. This bus has already stopped running on Saturdays. For us in our 80s and 90s, this is our lifeline. We do not all have cars.

May I suggest that this bus only runs for one journey at 10am and not for the second journey later in the day which is a complete waste of time as you only get 15 minutes to shop before the bus returns.

I ask Mr French to reconsider before he cancels this service.
