Bus Service Subsidies Cut

The Council revealed that they are planning to reduce subsidies to bus services across the city by £600,000. This money has been used to provide services which don't necessarily have enough usage to make them financially viable independently, but are vital for connecting neighbourhoods with the city centre. Services in this area under threat are the 21, 21B, 37, 81, 81A and 22. We will be challenging the Council on this. The previous Labour Council developed the excellent bus service that we have in Brighton and Hove today which is essential for reducing car usage and congestion, and we will defend it.
