I WAS very disappointed to read the letter from Mrs S Rhodes (May 28th 2009) regarding the Parry People Mover, currently being phased in on the Stourbridge Junction-Town line.

Far from being an "overgrown ice-cream van", this innovative, environmentally-friendly futuristic mode of public transport will not only run at more frequent intervals than its diesel predecessor, it will allow far easier flat-level entry for wheelchair access and parents with baby buggies and be far kinder to the environment.

The people behind the development of the Parry People Mover and now the operational staff who are going to run it should be justifiably proud of their achievement to bring this innovative operation to Stourbridge. As a local resident, I am certainly proud to use it.

Why not extend it down the High Street to make our town something special?

We have a new bus station coming soon and a number of new buses being brought to Stourbridge, coupled with an excellent, frequent rail service to Birmingham and peak trains direct to London.

Public transport is really moving forward in our area.
