P-04-515 Increase Funding for Welsh Bus Services
P-04-515 Increase Funding for Welsh Bus Services
We
call upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to
provide increased funding to bus services so that it adheres to its own policy
aims of reducing poverty and exclusion, ensuring that people across Wales are not
socially or economically disadvantaged by their location.
Additional information:
This
petition aims to increase the level of funding given to hard to reach, and
disadvantaged areas of Wales. A number of local authority areas have had to
reduce the frequency and range of bus routes since the Regional Transport
Services Grant was introduced. This has left some residents isolated,
especially on weekends and bank holidays.
