David Jepson (Campaigner, Brislington West)

Brislington's local Labour Party councillors and campaigners are lobbying the West of England Combined Authority to spend a portion of its Bus Service Improvement Plan money, and other money set aside by government to support local bus services, on improving the bus services to St Anne's and the wider Brislington area.

Since 2019 Brislington has lost its services from Tesco and Callington Road Hospital, Hungerford Road and Wick Road to St Anne's. The St Anne's area itself has no bus service linking it with the A4 corridor and Bristol Temple Meads.

We are asking WECA to fund an expansion of both the No 1 and No 36 services, to better service the area and give people real public transport opportunities. We call for the following:

1) Increase the frequency of the No 1 to at least every 10 minutes and modify every second journey to be a 1A serving  St Anne's instead of Broomhill.

2) Re-instate the 36 service beyond St Anne's to serve Wick Road, Hungerford Road and Tesco Brislington.

If you support our campaign to improve Brislington's bus services, please sign up below and we will present this petition to WECA at its meeting on 6th October.
