Stapleford councillors have teamed up in an effort to try and save a "lifeline" bus service. The joint petition has been set up by Councillor Richard MacRae and other councillors who are fighting to keep Trent Barton's route 21 service which will stop running on October 2, 2022.
More than 250 people have signed the petition asking Trent Barton to reconsider the decision and retain the service. The petition will be given to County Councillor John Doddy to present to the Nottinghamshire County Council, to see if the council can step in and help residents.
Speaking about the cancelled service, Councillor Richard MacRae said: "It's not that long away really, and it's the main bus that goes through the Stapleford North ward and it goes all the way from here to Nottingham and then back again. It's the route that people catch to get to the doctors up our end of Stapleford, so it's going to have implications for that.
