The cancellation of a 'lifeline' bus route has been met with anger from a local councillor. The 18 bus route is currently operated by trentbarton on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays between Nottingham and Stapleford via Beeston, but will end on April 2.
The service was supported by Nottinghamshire County Council, who are now withdrawing the funding. The announcement comes months after trentbarton's route 21 service, which ran from Heanor to Nottingham through Stapleford, stopped on October 2, 2022.
The service withdrawal was another blow for Stapleford, a local councillor has argued. Councillor Richard MacRae, Independent councillor for Stapleford North on Broxtowe Borough Council, said: "The reason it is being stopped is that the county council has withdrawn funding for it, which is really annoying.
