Bus Petition

Lancashire County Council disregarding the needs of rural communities as usual.

How will we get back from the pub?

The bus services are vital to rural communities.

Another cut to hurt those of us who use buses

These buses are a lifeline to those living in rural areas

no car, can't drive, need bus!!!!!

Bus services are essential in rural areas

This is important to us because as 2 pensioners If we are out for the day and cannot leave Lancaster by 5.40pm we would then have to wait for a bus to Carnforth and walk 2 miles home along a very narrow path(some sections have no path) by a busy road. (In winter this would be in the dark) As for Sundays we would have no alternative but to walk to Carnforth before being able to get any bus onward plus endure the walk home again. We urge you to do all you can to make them reconsider. Ken & Dorothy Pearce

The loss of the 81 bus service on Sundays and evenings would leave Halton with zeo public transort at those times. This is not ideal at a time when we are trying to reduce our carbon footprint.

The Kirkby Lonsdale to Lancaster bus service 81A is the only bus that serves the village of Gressingham other than the school bus 81B. The Service schedule is already extremely restrictive and any reduction in service would inevitably cause hardship to service users. Gressingham has an increasing Senior Citizen population.

people who live in villages need a regular bus service.otherwise many will be cut off.

Many people will have great difficulty with the proposed reductions in services.

Busses are crucial for the villages

I use the local buses regular..

An appalling example of Misjudgement by County Councillors and their unelected senior officers. This must not be allowed to happen.

The current proposals potentially affect the quality of life of all residents without access to cars. ALL residents (whether urban or rural) are vulnerable to the proposals in the sense that implementation is likely to make it more difficult for urban residents to visit friends and relatives living in rural areas as well as making it more difficult for rural residents to visit friends and relatives (and access essential, commercial, professional and recreational services) in urban areas.

I appreciate the County Council is facing cuts to its funding, but axing bus services is a false ecomony. The County's own research indicates that at least 15% or those living in rural Lancashire do not have access to a car.

Bus Services 81a & 81b are a vital Link from the Lune Valley to Lancaster and reverse! No Evening service would restrict all sorts of Social , Educational, Work, Hospital Visits,Cultural,indeed The BUS is The LIFELINE for Many!

The Lancaster to Kirkby Lonsdale would be missed by my famuly. Used this evening and weekend many times. Leaving the car at home.
