Mike
Hedges AM welcomes new law to improve bus services in Wales
Local
AM Mike Hedges is backing a proposed new law to improve bus services in Wales
to ensure they meet the needs of the travelling public.
The
First Minister today announced that the Welsh Government will introduce a
Public Transport Bill to reform the planning and delivery of local bus
services.
The
Bill will seek to reverse some of the negative impacts of de-regulation by
enabling local authorities to franchise or run bus services directly.
It
will be a key part of wider reforms to bus services and will help Ministers
achieve their ambition of creating a truly integrated public transport network.
Swansea
East AM said
“I
welcome today’s announcement of a Public Transport Bill.
“Tory
deregulation has failed the traveling public.
“People
want bus services that are designed around local need, that is what this Bill
will deliver”
End
