Yesterday MPs debated the Bus Services Bill. I tabled an amendment to ensure those with SEND & their reps have a voice in bus franchising. It wasn’t voted on, but I’ll keep campaigning for SEND & rural transport and holding govt to account. #BusServicesBill #SEND #RuralTransport

🚌 The #BusServicesBill (No.2) has its third and final reading in the House of Lords today.

We've worked with peers to strengthen the Bill so it can help deliver better buses across the country. 🚍

Why is it so important?

@carolinevoadenmp.bsky.social @ianroome.bsky.social @libdems.org.uk RSVP: do you support the franchising of #Devon's rural bus services? #BusServicesBill having now passed through parliament, surely it's time to end the isolation of '000s of the county's residents who have no/only one 🚌
bus a week?

Our privatised local buses are a disaster.

The government's #BusServicesBill can make a real difference if MPs amend it to empower local authorities and give passengers a voice.
