Update on local bus fares
We have been asked to share the following message from Stagecoach –
“Good morning,
We’ve done our best to hold back fare increases but due to rising costs, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to increase our fares across the East from 8th January 2023. We will continue to offer the same ticket types, but at slightly different prices.
These are the first network-wide fare increases we have made for over four and a half years, since April 2018, and we’ve worked hard to absorb significant cost increases to keep fares below the rate of inflation. The changes will add on average just 39p onto the cost of daily adult bus travel.
Please take a look at the attached booklet [link] for full details on the new fares. Further information will be available on our website from 10am today.
If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us at east.headoffice@stagecoachbus.com ”

MILTON CEMETERY
MILTON CEMETERY
On March 1st 1902 John Wilson aged 78 years died. He was buried in the new All Saints’ Churchyard extension Landbeach Road – Milton Cemetery.
In 2021 we set out to produce a plan of this cemetery.
We began by identifying all those graves or remains of graves that had legible names and inscriptions and plotted them on to the plan.
Our next step was to trawl through the Parish Records to identify those grave spaces that have no headstone or any commemorative plaque/marker.
Before the 1960’s the burials were clearly marked in the Church Records eg 4/23 and we were able to put them in the correct place but from the 1960’s there are burials in these records without any indication where the graves are situated in the cemetery.
We have had to estimate where these unmarked graves are using the dates of the burials.
There will be errors therefore and if anyone knows of an incorrect location of a grave please inform the clerk to Milton Parish
Council at clerk@miltonvillage.org.uk
We have also taken photographs of every grave or head/kerbstone – see PHOTOS.
