Broadwindsor, the parish and the surrounding villages have always had difficulties when it comes to public transport. The CPRE (formerly Campaign to Protect Rural England) believes without regular bus services, many people in rural communities can become cut off, isolated and left without the means to live an independent life. Formed in 1926 by Sir Patrick Abercrombie, the CPRE claims to be one of the longest running environmental groups.
They have launched a petition calling for a reliable bus service for rural communities. This will be forwarded to the Secretary of State for Transport, Grant Shapps.
More buses means:
By signing this petition, you will show the Government that this is an issue that thousands of people across the country want them to act on. Sign the petition HERE.
