Your local councillors are calling for the return of bus services over Pulteney Bridge.

The threat of closure raised by the Conservatives has been formally dropped by the new Lib Dem council, but bus companies are continuing to use North Parade. This route is longer and less convenient as it does not serve Great Pulteney Street of the city centre.

The petition reads:

We call upon First Bus and Wessex Connect to restore the university bus service to its previous route across Pulteney Bridge.

The current diversion via North Parade and Pulteney Road causes considerable inconvenience for local bus users in Bathwick, adds to traffic congestion and imposes delays on the service. By restoring the route, users will be able to access more easily the High Street, Post Office, Great Pulteney Street surgery, local banks and other shops and businesses in the Milsom Street area.
