Bus Services Under Threat
- Published on Saturday, 11 June 2011 16:12
In an attempt 
to reduce its subsidy of local bus services by £2M (from £4.7M to £2.7M) as part of its overall £79M savings plan, West Sussex Country Council is currently conducting an impact assessment and a public consultation exercise. The earlier deadline of 10th June has recently been extended to Friday June 24th, giving anyone wishing to express a view more time to post a comment.
The list of affected services shown below is only a selection of those under the threat of cuts from 1st September, but it includes the most local to Cocking.
