having previously been at the wheel of the beloved number 4 bus, I can tell you first-hand the indispensable role this route plays in the fabric of our community. Many local residents rely on this vital service as more than just a mode of transportation; it is their lifeline to jobs, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and social interactions. Shutting it down would not only disrupt daily routines but would also isolate the most vulnerable members of our community who depend on it the most.

This service is vital to residents, young, old and everything in-between, losing it after 6pm will have a huge detrimental impact on their lives and further imperil the viability of the service in the long term.

Moreover, public transport services like the number 4 reduce traffic congestion and lower emissions, supporting our collective effort to create a more sustainable and eco-friendly neighbourhood. Retaining the number 4 bus route into the evening is, therefore, integral to our commitment to environmental conservation and reducing our carbon footprint.

We implore our local council and transportation authorities to reconsider any plans to cut this essential route. Instead, we urge you to engage with the community and find innovative solutions that support keeping the number 4 running without interruption. 

Now, more than ever, we need your voice. Support us in letting our local officials know how critical the number 4 bus is to you and the thousands of others who depend on this service every day. Please sign this petition to make your voice heard and ensure we keep our community connected.
