Reformation of Sanders Coaches in Norfolk or Replacement Bus Company

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

I constantly find myself standing at a bus stop waiting well over half an hour after the stated bus time. Many elderly people rely on these services for important things such as hospital appointments and general commuting. The bus company needs to reform and provide a better service to the people.
I, myself, was shocked when a bus drove straight past the stop I was standing at. I then had to wait for the next bus and was left standing at the stop for 55 minutes after the due arrival time in a storm, only for the bus to not ever arrive. The quality of the Sanders service is also shocking, with busses setting on fire in transit. Bus services are an important part of communities and this isn't one that reflects well on our county. Something needs to be done for the benefit of our community.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
