On Monday, David met with Simon Lightwood, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Local Transport, to stress the importance of buses for residents across Stoke-on-Trent and Kidsgrove. It is not fair that over a period of 14 years, services were cut by over 60% in Stoke-on-Trent and over 40% across Staffordshire. That’s why the Labour Government recently announced £20 million for our local buses across Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire.
