Kenilworth residents are being asked to share their views on the future of local bus services.

Warwickshire County Council has announced a new plan to improve local bus routes to increase passenger numbers, after a new committee was announced in early July.

With £3 billion available in government funding nationally, the new countywide bus strategy could see significant investment come to Warwickshire.

Residents, bus operators, councils, businesses and even emergency services are now being contacted to share their views on how WCC can improve the local bus service.

Cllr Wallace Redford, portfolio holder for transport and planning said: "For many, buses are a lifeline to employment, education, medical appointments and leisure, and are essential to the economy. Working with our partners, we are committed to ensuring our bus services are the best they can be.

"We want to hear from as many residents as possible to help shape our BSIP and make sure that it reflects our communities right across the county. We're keen to hear from people who already use buses and from those who currently don't. We also want to hear from public, private and voluntary organisations who have an interest in making our bus services work better."

The closing date to complete the survey is Sunday 19 September 2021.
