Last week Geoffrey Clifton-Brown met with campaigners from the "Cirencester Action on Buses" group in the town to receive their petition of almost 1,000 signatures to reverse bus service cuts.

Geoffrey said:
“I fully sympathise and understand locals' concerns about these cutbacks and I have written to Gloucestershire County Council and Stagecoach to see what can be done about maintaining these crucial services. I did, however, reiterate to the group the general principle that people must use buses otherwise they will lose them because no bus services can continue indefinitely if it has very low usage and revenue.”
