On the Buses
Everyone has a view of bus services regardless of whether they use them or not.
Many though have no idea where to express those views.
Passenger Transport services at Cambridgeshire County Council has taken steps to solve that problem. We have posted a survey on the web, which is quick, simple and easy to complete.
All the responses received will be compiled regularly and be one of the contributory factors used to develop our plans for the future. The survey can be completed as many times as people like as we will continually review the results.
What we need is your help in letting people know how they can access the survey. The address below will connect them directly to the survey
www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/consultations/bussurvey
Please let as many people know this address as you can. It can be by word of mouth, at your next parish meeting or through your parish newsletter. It really doesn't matter. Just help us to get it out there.
Finding out what people really think about bus services is vital. The on-line survey gives those who have a view but don't know where to express it, the opportunity to be heard.
With your help we can make the survey a success.
...And There's More.. .
