Key moment in Arriva strike dispute as Liverpool City Region leaders demand company acts

The political leaders of the Liverpool City Region have called on Arriva bosses to act urgently and end the long-running bus strike across the region.

On the 23rd day of continuous strikes across the Arriva network, Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram, Mayor of Liverpool Joanne Anderson and council leaders and Members of Parliament from across the region have come together in a joint call for action from the major bus operator that will end the strike and get buses back on the streets of Merseyside.
