Amanda Hack MP Calls for Better Buses

Following my meeting with the Director of Environment and Transport at Leicestershire County Council on Wednesday 30th July, I am disappointed that feedback from both myself and residents seemingly has not been taken on board regarding the changes to bus services being brought forward by Arriva.
 
I am now calling on Leicestershire County Council and Cllr Charles Whitford, the Cabinet Lead for Highways, Transport and Waste, to provide a strategy that will actually enhance provision in North West Leicestershire, not continue to cut it. For too long our communities have been disconnected bus route by bus route.
 
I cannot accept the services that have come forward, especially given we have provided £8 million of additional funding to enhance and safeguard provision.

I managed to speak about the lack of local bus provision across North West Leicestershire again recently, this time highlighting the long-gone services that used to connect Heather with Ibstock and other local areas. (Link to the full speech in the comments)

I'm aware that Arriva have recently announced some further changes to services in North West Leicestershire, and I want to hear what this means for you. Please drop me an email with your thoughts on the changes that are coming in April to [email protected].

I will continue battling for better buses from private operators and Leicestershire County Council. We are giving them the cash and powers to enhance and protect our services for communities like Heather. For too long, our communities have been disconnected bus route by bus route.
