WECA has developed a set of draft ambitions to improve bus services across the West of England, but they want to make sure they are right. They are inviting feedback from local people, communities, and businesses to help shape the plan and ensure it reflects what matters most. This six-week engagement period, running from 30 March to 10 May, is an opportunity to share your views and help refine their bus plan.

You can read an overview of their ambitions in the accompanying PDF. After the survey closes, WECA will share a summary report of the feedback received and incorporate that feedback into a full Bus Plan for the West of England.

The West of England Combined Authority will shortly be launching a six‑week public engagement exercise on the Bus Plan, running from 30 March to 10 May. The purpose of this engagement is to hear directly from both bus users and non‑bus users across the region about their experiences, expectations, and needs. The engagement will run under the heading “Next stop, better buses”.

WECA seeking feedback on all aspects of the network, including:

• Accessibility of services
• Safety at bus stops and on buses
• Service frequency and reliability
• Ticketing – from ease of purchase to ease of use
• General perceptions of the current bus service provision

Once the consultation is launched the parish council will post a link to it here.
