The Conservative Administration on Wiltshire Council
have cut bus services, again!
Wiltshire Liberal Democrats
are worried that big cuts are being hidden by lots of small
cuts.
Lib Dem Council Group Leader
Jon Hubbard stated "Again, rural locations across the western
part of Wiltshire are particularly badly hit. The Conservative
Administration are trying to dodge criticism by reducing
services bit by bit, outside of the towns so they can avoid
publicity. But public transport is particularly important for
keeping rural communities alive, and this second round of cuts
looks like death by a thousand cuts for Wiltshire's villages and
hamlets."
"Again, proper consultation
with local people would show Wiltshire Council where savings can
be made with less damage to Wiltshire. The Liberal Democrat
administration in Bristol show how it should be done; they are
investing in buses, and expect four million more bus journeys
this year as a result, saving thousands of pounds of taxpayers
money from pollution fines"
