Bus routes in Somerset are currently under threat. 

Somerset’s buses are vulnerable because Somerset Council has long spent far less on supporting buses than do our neighbouring rural councils. 

Last year, two thirds of elected Somerset councillors made a commitment to increase the Council’s spending on buses. 

This petition asks them to do what they had agreed to do. 

We invite you to support it. 

We the undersigned call on Somerset Council to increase its own funding of buses by 2026 to the average for similar councils in the South West.
