A367 bus lane defence

Peasedown Councillors who object to the new bus lane on the A367 should complain to their Lib Dem colleagues who supported the bid for funding this very bus lane in 2005 when they shared control of B&NES with the Tories.

All the critics of the new bus lane have failed to answer the question: who loses as a result?

Not the bus passengers who get an improved journey. Not the car drivers who won't have a bus in front of them for that distance and are otherwise no worse off. And not the B&NES council tax payer since this is a nationally funded scheme
