Our Bus Manifesto

Somerset Bus Partnership launched its Bus Manifesto in April 2022, setting out its policy priorities.

We have invited all candidates of the new Unitary Authority to support our manifesto. Over 175 have done so, so far.  

Read our Bus Manifesto.


PARTY LEADERS IN SOMERSET BACK MORE MONEY FOR BUSES
 

Leaders of the Conservatives, Lib Dems, Labour and the Greens in Somerset are now all backing more money to be spent on buses which is a key point in the Somerset Bus Partnership BUS MANIFESTO that was launched last month.


The following candidates standing in the election for the new Somerset Unitary Council have indicated their support for the Somerset Bus Partnership BUS MANIFESTO (sorted by District, then Ward and then by first name). We will update this list if we get any more candidates supporting our manifesto:
