Yeovil i an ever increasing town with a diverse population of both culture and age. The bus and Comunity service over the years has depleted and yet has still remains to this day a life line for elderly, people with mobility issues, and people who do not, or can not afford to drive. What with the cost of living and petrol prices and the push to use local services this latest cut is one of the most impactful for the Comunity it will have a detrimental affect on all. Independence and human rights.
