Bus Services: West Dorset

Asked by Edward MorelloLiberal DemocratDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 9 January 2025UIN 902016

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the regularity of bus services on vulnerable users in West Dorset constituency.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

We know that bus services can be a lifeline for many, and are committed to delivering better, more frequent services across the country. That is why we are allocating bus funding based on need not the quality of bids. Dorset Council will receive £3.8m next year, a £2.5m annual increase on the previous year.
