Today I met with Doug Claringbold, Managing Director at First West of England joined by Bradley Stoke councillor Terri Cullen who is working to improve bus services in Bradley Stoke, like the No.73 bus.
We discussed multiple issues relating to public transport in our area such as First's ongoing recruitment campaign which I have previously contributed to with a recruitment event in collaboration with the Job Centre. We also focused on areas such as Winterbourne which is significantly underserved by public transport and proposed solutions to this issue, in order to continue to drive for solutions I shall be working with First's commercial team to try and secure additional sustainable commercial routes to help solve this issue.
I look forward to working further with First to improve bus services.
