They say there are no bus services in the village from Saturday night to Monday morning.
Campaigner Celia Emmott said: “This means that anyone who has to come into the village, or go out of the village for work, has to take a taxi, stay overnight near their work or beg for a lift.

Residents highlighted their campaign during a ‘Big Green Week’ which culminated on Sunday in a special electric bus service – the Big Lemon Electric bus – to Brighton.
"We are asking that we may have more buses in and out of Henfield, in the evenings and on Sundays and Bank Holidays,” said Celia.
The Big Green Week included several other events highlighting the environment including a film showing from Sussex Underwater with speakers from the Free Divers who did the filming.
