Bus services are essential for our communities. For children and young people, pensioners and people on isolated estates and rural villages they're often the only way to get out and about, get into town or to the doctor or hospital, or to get shopping home. Cuts to bus subsidies will make some routes fail and lead to them being scrapped. Northamptonshire County Council should not be making these cuts. Instead they should go to the Tory Government for the funds needed to support our services.
