North Surrey Bus Service Review

Again we find some campaigners are scaremongering, this time about the review of subsidised bus services in north Surrey.
The County Council spends £11 million on keeping uneconomic routes going, a figure which keeps on rising by about £1million each year which is unsustainable.
Yet some routes are seriously underused, so it is only fair that the network is looked at -- but without sacrificing vital services to vulnerable groups.
In fact Spelthorne Borough has a relatively high level of bus usage and is set to suffer minimally in the drive to save taxpayer money.
The Council is interested in residents’ views, so have your say.
