BEWARE before you move to the Butts road area in Southampton, I have lived here for 39 years, we used to have a bus service but now not a lot.

God help us if you need to go to work after 6:30pm or on Sundays, if you need to get to the walk in center, visit friends or even go to town, you are stuffed if you do not have your own transport or can afford the expensive taxi service.

In fact it feels like you are on a curfew, the senior citizens are being made to feel prisoners in there homes, for most of them the nearest bus stops are a long way away.

Sholing is a lovely but forgotten place to live, we have to campaign for most of the council services we get, we even live in the shadow of massive trees, in fact dangerous, we have been trying to have this sorted for the last nine years, the answer even though they have admitted they are to big is,"any damage to human or property take us to court, nice eh?

Well, city council we do reside in Sholing, we should be respected and acknowledged, and even those who lay in the cemetery, have you seen the disgusting state of that?

I think not, or you would really hang your heads in shame.

I wonder do any of you live here? I doubt it, so you enjoy your buses, to live out of the shadow of overgrown trees, potholes called roads, lucky are you not.
