Bring back a bus service to rural areas
Rejected
17 signatures
What the petition asks
Bus services are getting made very rare if not abolished in rural areas preventing the young, elderly and disabled from being able to get out and about. We want the services brought back!
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The Government and Parliament aren't directly responsible for local bus services. If you are concerned about bus services in your local area, you could raise this with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
