Bring back the 209 bus service
Reinstate the 209 bus service that goes through Moorsides in Drighlington as a direct route to Leeds city centre.
Why is this important?
My name is Nathan Hodgson and I am passionate and determined to bring about positive change in and around Morley.
One of the campaigns I am currently fighting is regarding the 209 service. After speaking to local residents, they have informed me about their struggle to commute to Leeds since the cancellation of this service.
This particularly effects the elderly residents who relied on the service to take them to Leeds and have since had to walk over the moor onto the main Whitehall Road. This is not only an unreasonable ask in terms of the route but also threatens the livelihoods of older people who used the bus stop as a social hub and the service as a way of connecting with friends and the wider community.
It is imperative that the service is back in use or further isolates a community who once had the bus as a necessary outlet for both travel and socialising.
We are calling on Arriva to provide this service once more, or at the very least bring forward a solution to this issue by changing a different service to accommodate the residents of Drighlington.
