Proposed cuts to bus services in Somerset – ‘Your Bus Matters events’ in Somerset this week
Somerset Council is considering a number of cuts to services and changes to concessionary rules. As a result, we are running a number of Your Bus Matters events this week to highlight these proposed cuts . We want to encourage people to come along to have their say and complete the consultation documents. It’s so important that we all do what we can to protect rural bus services and therefore, I’m asking if you would be so kind as to publicise these events throughout your own networks.
