Have Your Say On Bus Travel In West Sussex

Tuesday, 24 August 2021 15:05

By Jade McLean

A three billion pound cash injection into bus travel by the government, across the country, will mean an improvement to services in West Sussex.

The new National Bus Strategy - Bus Back Better - will look at sustaining and improving services everywhere outside London.

The council would like to hear from residents about ways they think bus travel in the county could be better.

Joy Dennis, the County Council’s Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, said:

“We really want to hear opinions on what would improve local bus services and what would make people use buses more. We are keen to hear from people of all ages who already use buses and those who do not.

“Your feedback will inform our approach to developing and improving local bus services for the future, so this is a great opportunity to have your say.”

To complete the online survey, go to http://yourvoice.westsussex.gov.uk/busbackbetter

Or call 01243 642105 or visit your local library to request a paper copy.

The closing date for responses is 14 September 2021.
