Have your say on Rotherham's bus cuts

Mr Coppard and other leaders in the region have criticised the government for giving the area a fraction of the funding received in other areas.

Meetings will take place at Montgomery Hall Theatre, Wath, Thursday 7 from 1pm to 3pm; at the Fitzwilliam Arms Hotel at Parkgate, on Monday from 6pm to 8pm; and at Maltby’s Catholic WMC on Millindale, on Friday October 6, from noon to 2pm.

Mr Coppard said: “I’m doing everything I can to get the government to give us a fair funding deal, because bus services are vital.

“Not just for our economy, so we can see our families, get to school or to work, but as a means of allowing people to access opportunity wherever it might be. That is even more true when we are facing a climate crisis. We should be investing in buses.”
