Lancashire bus cuts disrupt start to new school year

LANCASHIRE Labour has launched a campaign highlighting the short sighted bus cuts that threaten to disrupt young people’s return to school.

Tory-led Lancashire County Council has cut £829,000 from this year’s transport budget with more than 330,000 bus journeys per year axed across Lancashire. So far 16 local and school bus routes have been scrapped, in addition to fares increases on many routes.

School pupils have been left without buses in Nelson and Burnley, as the 978 and 897 Sir John Thursby services are cut; as well as the 834 in Chorley which runs to Lostock Hall High School in South Ribble.

Savage cuts in our youth services imposed

Submitted by Burnley Labour Party on 22 June 2011 - 11:59am

I am absolutely disgusted at the savage cuts in youth services that are to be imposed in Burnley. I am even more disgusted that our MP contents himself with a rant at County Council and refuses to stand up for the young people of our town. He knows as well as anyone that the blame for these cuts lies entirely with the Conservative/ Liberal Democrat Coalition Government; a government in which he seems very happy to serve. What did he think County Council was going to do when his Government made the decision to cut £179 million from Lancashire’s budget?
