Save the 297 Tenterden to Tunbridge Wells bus route

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Halting the 297 bus route means the village of Goudhurst and others along the route including Cranbrook will no longer have public transport to two of the larger towns locally, Tenterden and Tunbridge Wells. This will affect school children, college students, workers and the elderly.

Why it was rejected

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

Local bus services are the responsibility of local bus operators and your local council.

You could raise your issue 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:
