SAVE OUR 37

UPDATE: 30/08/16 - We Won!
Common sense has prevailed thanks to resolve and refusing to take decision our 37 Bus has been saved and direct route from Bath to Bristol reverts u- turn thankfully by MD of First Bus at eleventh hour! Elated

Provide a direct bus service for the residents of Kelston,Swineford & Bitton to BRISTOL CITY CENTRE

Why is this important?

Having endured nine months of road closure due to land slip it now transpires that the 37 service during this time picked up more traffic flow on its redirected route (Newton St Loe & Saltford) who frankly have services to both cities of Bath and Bristol. A decision has been made by the company that the service 'doesn't cut the mustard' and is not commercially viable. BNES & SGC need to take URGENT action at Council ward level to step in and provide a solution for rural home owners both young and elderly.

Petition successfully logged by Councillor Erica Williams and hand delivered to James Freeman of First. Amidst scrutiny of Public meeting said gentleman admitted "It isn't right as it is" First West of England need to look at the situation. Hollow words given website www.firstgroup.com/bath have printed revised timetables. However I recommend giving benefit of the doubt whilst SGC produce minutes of public meeting and Freeman makes a conscious effort?
