'Not acceptable': Campaigner fears for Stagecoach bus route

Knightwood resident, Susan Dorsett, who has been spearheading the campaign to save the Stagecoach number 46 service, recently held discussions with HCC's executive member for highways and passenger transport, Lulu Bowerman, regarding the axing of the service.

The campaign comes after Susan spoke before councillors in May, where she presented a petition with 1,676 signatures calling for the restoration of the bus route.

Susan, who has been working voluntarily to save bus services, expressed concerns about the negative impact of service cuts.

"This is not acceptable."
