Have your say to help us improve bus services in Shropshire

We want to hear your views about bus services in Shropshire!

Even if you don’t currently use bus services, we want to hear how we could make changes so you would consider using them in future.

This Autumn we’re bidding to the Government’s Bus Back Better fund to transform services across Shropshire.

We’ve got some great initial ideas – but our bid will be much stronger with your views on board.

We’ve created an online survey so you can have your say, which can be accessed by visiting: shropshire.gov.uk/busbackbetter

It takes about five minutes to complete and if you represent a group there’s an option to record the group’s views too.

Cecilia Motley, Portfolio Holder for Communities, Place, Tourism and Transport, said:

“In October we will be submitting our bid to the Government which could attract millions of pounds into the county with the potential to transform bus services right across Shropshire’s rural areas and towns.

“This could also help get more people out of cars and on to buses, helping to also reduce our carbon emissions.

“To make our bid as strong as possible we need to reflect your views too so please take part and help transform our bus services.”

The survey is open until 10 September.
