🚌 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.

Great to visit Roberts Travel Group recently, a brilliant local business at the heart of our community transport network. From school runs to coach trips and commercial bus services, their work highlights just how important reliable, affordable, and accessible transport is for people across North West Leicestershire. It was also fantastic to see their investments in new technology and a brand new departures space for their customers!

That’s also why I’m proud to serve on the Buses Bill Committee in Parliament right now. This is a real opportunity to push for improvements to our bus routes, giving Leicestershire County Council more powers to improve our services, especially in rural and semi-rural areas like ours. We need more reliable routes, better evening and weekend services, and a fairer deal for passengers. You can read more of my words on this here: www.amandahack.com/my-words-to-the-buses-bill-committee-this-week-1st-july/

I’ll keep battling for better buses and our fair share of the £8 million uplift in funding we have provided to Leicestershire County Council. Nobody should be cut off from opportunity just because of where they live. 🚌

Today marks 97 years since women won the right to vote on equal terms with men, a milestone in our democracy and a testament to the tireless efforts of the suffragettes and campaigners who came before us.

I proudly wore my personalised sash, beautifully crafted by Re:make Newport, in front of the statue of Lord Falkland, the very spot where suffragette Margery Hume chained herself in 1909. The legacy of her bravery can still be seen today in the broken spur on the statue, which has been left as it is to remember the fight of the suffragettes.

Her courageous act, and the sacrifices of so many others, helped secure the rights we often take for granted today.

As the 624th woman elected to Parliament, I carry their legacy with me every day. There's still work to do, but today, we remember how far we've come. 💜💚🤍

Before I became an MP, I worked for a housing association that provided accommodation for people with learning and mental health disabilities. It was clear from working alongside tenants that the process of accessing welfare is often dehumanising for people with disabilities. It’s clear to me that the system needs structural reform to provide dignity.

The Government has listened to our calls to wait for any implementation of PIP reform until after the review which is being undertaken by Sir Stephen Timms (referred to as The Timms Review), which will be taken in conjunction with disabled people and organisations, ensuring their voice is at the heart of any changes.

This means that there will be no changes to PIP as a result of this Bill.

With that in mind, the vote tonight on The Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill was in the end about ensuring the above inflation increase to the standard allowance of UC was voted through, supporting over 8,800 people in North West Leicestershire.

Great to have taken part in #NationalBingoWeek last week with a visit to Palace Bingo in Coalville! 🎉

Hearing about their fantastic fundraising efforts for Variety - The Children’s Charity was lovely. The money raised goes a long way in supporting children in our communities, helping those with mobility challenges, sight impairments, communication difficulties, and other learning, sensory, or behavioural needs.

It was good to speak to regular players and the difference that Bingo makes to them. From building lifetime friendships and where it’s ok to pop along by yourself and not be alone.

A big thanks to everyone involved for making such a positive impact!
