Last chance for South Tynesiders to have their say on bus services

Whether you are a regular bus user or not, they want to hear from you.

Bus passengers in South Tyneside are reminded that they only have until Monday morning to have their say on the services on offer.

Issues under discussion include bus routes, ticket prices, reliability and connections.

The decisions made about our bus network affect how people get to work, educatiion, healthcare, shops, friends and family every day. Now you have the chance to help shape what comes next.

The North East Mayoral Strategic Authority (MSA) is asking people across the region to have their say on proposals for bus franchising. Whether you are a regular bus user or not, they want to hear from you.

The MSA said: “We’ve heard from thousands of people about what matters most for transport and we’re now consulting on whether a different approach - known as bus franchising - could create a better bus network for people across the North East.”

Take part before 9am on Monday, September 28 at www.northeast-ca.gov.uk/haveyoursay.
