Reinstate Bus Services across borders.

The Issue

Living rurally, if you don't own a car your stuck, for study for work, recently Shropshire council pulled funding for a bus service which linked several rural communities with Oswestry and Shropshire. Now there are two options a 9am bus and a 3pm bus. The 5:10 no longer runs which is also vital for people commuting to and from work and studies. Also the 7.15 Llanfyllin bus to Shrewsbury and the 4.35 return doesn't run so anyone on this route working or studying normal hours in Shrewsbury cannot do so. But these buses continue to run on the weekends and in school holidays!. Powys and Shropshire councils need to hear the voices of those living in the towns and villages affected, and review this decision. http://www.tanat.co.uk/news.php?id=100 Is a link to tanat website detailing the recent stoppage of the 17:10 74 service and why. Sign the petition to have them rethink again the decision. Rural communities need to be accessible to students and workers alike.
