Save Whitfield’s bus service

The Issue

Whitfield residents urgently need your support! Stagecoach is planning to cut our local bus link, a lifeline for many in our community.

This service is essential for elderly residents, disabled individuals, and schoolchildren. Please sign to keep Whitfield connected and support those who need this link most!

For example, my 70-year-old Nan relies on this service for her weekly shopping, hospital appointments, and maintaining her independence. Without it, she’d have to depend on family car trips, undermining her independence.

Removing Whitfield’s bus link would be counterintuitive to environmental goals. With no alternative, many residents would be forced to rely on cars for daily errands, healthcare visits, and school commutes. This shift would increase local traffic, carbon emissions, and pollution—effects that a community bus service could help reduce. Retaining the bus link supports sustainable transportation, which is essential for reducing our environmental footprint and creating a greener, more accessible future for all residences .
