Moving Buses Forward: St Helens Network Engagement
This is an opportunity to 'Have Your Say' in the future of buses in the St Helens area and in Merseyside. Billy Bradshaw will be attending the February Drop in event to answer any questions.
The purpose of the network engagement is to receive feedback on the current bus network across the St Helens area and to give residents the opportunity to comment if they feel there are any additional services, links, or revisions that can be incorporated into the final design of the network.
If you cannot attend there is an online survey available - please click on link below.
