'Market Drayton is increasingly cut off from the rest of the world for anyone not in a car!'

John Hargreaves from Market Drayton Climate Action hears the views of a bus user

Findings suggest that people in and around Market Drayton would travel more by bus if more services were reliably available. "It’s a downward spiral, because without regular services people won’t use the bus, and then more routes are cut because of lack of demand. Residents in the town have until the end of September to submit their views in the survey, which can be found online or at Market Drayton Library.according to an analysis by the House of Commons Library.

The average number of departures in English towns with a similar population – 10,000 to 20,000 people - is 306 each weekday.The issue has been taken up by Helen Morgan MP, who has tabled a bill in the House of Commons which would make the Government responsible for ensuring that every town with a population of over 10,000 has bus services that connect people with hospitals and GP surgeries running each day of the week.
