Plans for the number two bus route updated
Plans to improve the number two bus route along Queens Road, the Triangle, Park Street and College Green have been updated in response to feedback.
WESTlocal allows communities to access cash to design and run their very own, brand new, not for profit bus services. The first successful bidders in Chew Valley and Paulton launched in April and since then, hundreds of people have used the bus services.
The new WESTlocal schemes, which are expected to start on 1 September include buses serving Keynsham, Yate, Charfield, Chew Valley, Winford, Avonmouth and SGS college among other areas.
WESTlocal is a fund from the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority, in partnership with North Somerset Council. Funding for the scheme comes from the Department for Transport’s Bus Service Improvement Plan. The West of England Mayoral Combined Authority secured the second highest settlement per head nationwide from government of this fund.
There are three other WESTlocal bus services planned to start in September operating in North Somerset.
