🚌 159 Hinckley to Coalville Bus Service Update 🚌
As part of my commitment to continue battling for better buses to connect North West Leicestershire, I am pleased to say that I have recently received an update from Leicestershire County Council that the previous 159 route from Hinckley to Coalville has now been put out to tender.
This means that a return of this service is currently being considered, which is fantastic news following the cut to this route 3 years ago, which I know impacted many learners at FE colleges. Once I have further news on the progress of this, I will of course, share this with you.
I will continue to push for our fair share of the additional £8 million uplift in funding that has been provided to Leicestershire County Council by this government and listening to your feedback about our bus services locally.

This is a huge moment for healthcare in North West Leicestershire. Our communities have long needed a more accessible and joined-up NHS, and this plan will deliver exactly that. With services on people’s doorsteps, residents might not need to travel to Leicester, Derby or Nottingham for vital care in the future. This is about putting patients first.
We’re lucky that locally we have a fantastic set of GP practices and the GP Federation, who are all working together to provide better patient care and trial innovative ways of working. We must support them with a modern, forward-looking healthcare system which builds on their work.
