You may have heard that our South Yorkshire Mayor Oliver Coppard has launched a new region-wide campaign for a Fair Bus Deal.
Due to persistent under-investment from the central government and a lack of a national strategy that prioritises public transport, we have seen a 42% reduction in services over the last 10 years – some routes cut altogether; others seeing reduced timetables.
Oliver and his team are visiting communities across South Yorkshire where people have been hard-hit by cuts and a decline in the quality of bus services – and they want to hear from as many members of the public as possible, to raise a huge campaign that he can take to Westminster to try to convince government ministers that they must invest in South Yorkshire’s public transport.
KEY DATES FOR OUR AREA
Thursday 26 October, 5pm (doors open for registration at 4.30pm) – Public meeting at St Columba’s church, Manchester Road.
Friday 27 October, 10am – Virtual meeting online (sign up to receive Zoom link)
Tuesday 31 October, 12 noon – Virtual meeting online (sign up to receive Zoom link)
All the details of the campaign are here: https://southyorkshire-ca.gov.uk/fair-deal, including sign-up for the virtual meetings, and a feedback form where people can relate their experiences of public transport to help Oliver build the case for a Fair Deal.
