Do you use one or more of the local bus services? Could you – if the service(s) were better timed / more frequent or in keeping with getting to work or elsewhere? Your chance to have your say.
Wiltshire Council is working with ‘Option 24/7’, a county wide bus user group on a ‘Bus Service Improvement Plan’ which could bring in millions of pounds worth of Government funding to help make big improvements to local bus services a reality.
The Government recently announced a strategy ‘Bus Back Better’, which could represent the greatest shake-up of the UK bus industry for a long time.
Wiltshire Council’s first ‘Bus Service Improvement Plan’ is described on the Wiltshire Council site and can be reached by clicking here, from where it will be possible to download this first take of the Plan.
To take part in this consultation visit the relevant section on the Marlborough Town Council website, where the survey will be accessible until 10 December.
There are bus services around here, but: do they run at the right times, and days? And stop in the right places? Are they too expensive, very reasonable, or about right? And what would make you use a bus more often?
All very good and pertinent questions and this survey can give you a chance to add your view to what will become Wiltshire Council’s pitch for more funding for bus services in our area.
