No 85 bus service – Have your say!
Submit your concerns to Rockland St Mary with Hellington Parish Council
Published: 14 March 2026
Rockland St Mary with Hellington Parish Council has been in regular contact with Transport Made Simple Group (TMSG) over the past couple of months regarding the acquisition of Konectbus, which currently operates the No. 85 service through the village.
The Council had hoped to arrange a community engagement meeting with TMSG so parishioners could raise any concerns, complaints, or suggestions. However, a public consultation—shared on our Facebook page—closed on 13 February 2026.
Unfortunately, due to a miscommunication within TMSG, their Stakeholder Engagement Lead was not made aware of the consultation. Had he known, he would have visited the area to gather feedback from residents who were unable or uncomfortable responding online.
Although the formal consultation period has now ended, the Council would still like to gather input from parishioners. If you have comments, concerns, or suggestions about the No. 85 service or the proposed acquisition, please email them to the Parish Clerk:
📧 clerk@rocklandstmarywithhellington-pc.gov.uk
All correspondence will be forwarded to TMSG for their review.
🗓 Deadline for submissions: 31 March 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your views.
