I AM taking it upon myself to send out the strongest possible objections to the driver of the Stagecoach bus who left Mrs Flo Fussell to walk home some considerable distance from her home bus stop in Littledean.

It was an appalling act of incivility, thoughtlessness and cruelty to anyone, more so a lady of her age and mobility.

Flo is well loved and respected in this area of the Forest, she is a regular passenger on the Belfitts bus which collects the local community on a Friday and returns us home.

The driver there couldn't be more different. I do respectfully suggest that the Stagecoach driver, to say the very least, should be reprimanded and made to personally apologise to Flo.

Some would say he deserves to be fired, he certainly needs training in customer care and consideration. I am so angry on behalf of Flo and quite anticipate that you will hear from other passengers and friends of Flo.
