I think it's ridiculous that there is no direct bus between Tetbury and Nailsworth, you either have to change bus at Minchinhampton or Stroud, making a 7 mile journey last roughly an hour and costing about £4.50 for a single journey (when a single journey between Cirencester and Tetbury, of 10 miles, costs only £1.60). I'm sure there are many people, particularly students with friend groups that are spread across many towns, who would appreciate a bus service between Tetbury and Nailsworth. I have emailed the council twice and neither time have I got a reply (not even an automated one) so I figured a petition might grab their attention a bit more. I am of legal age to drive but have chosen not too as I am trying to do my bit for the environment, however, this becomes harder when I cannot get 7 miles down the road without catching two buses and wasting a lot of time. I hope Cotswold District Council will be able to lay on a bus service that will run between Tetbury and Nailsworth. If you agree with the idea of this bus service please sign this petition and I will send it to Cotswold District Council.

The council remains silent despite my follow-up attempts but your stories about the struggle to travel between our towns confirm this is a fight worth having. I am currently compiling all your experiences into a formal document to ensure they cannot ignore us any longer.

Seeing this grow makes me feel like I am finally being heard after the council ignored my emails. It is clear that I am not the only one frustrated by being stranded while trying to do the right thing for the environment.

Bout time someone did this. Cost is way too high for such a short trip. My daughter could really use this for college.
