The motion
That this House commends the hard work and dedication of Linda Snelling of the Somerset Bus Partnership in supporting bus users in Somerset; recognises that this dedication comes at a time when bus mileage in the county has, since 2010, fallen more than 70% according to Government figures; further recognises the disproportionate impact these cuts have on rural communities such as those in Somerset, and on elderly populations who rely more on public transport; welcomes the £24.7 million boost for services in Somerset up to 2030 from the Department for Transport; and urges the Government to continue providing investment for rural bus provision.
