Have your say on proposed bus cuts in Islington
July 31, 2022Islington Council is urging local people to have their say on proposed Transport for London
(TfL) bus service changes that would significantly affect travel in the borough and central London.
Due to a lack of funding from central Government and fewer passengers travelling since the start of the pandemic, TfL is proposing changes to bus services in London. In Islington, the proposals include cutbacks to key bus services, which would have a big impact on local people’s ability to move around the borough – particularly people with disabilities and people on lower incomes.
The changes would make it significantly more difficult for local people to access Whittington Hospital, St Bartholomew’s Hospital and Moorfields Eye Hospital by bus, and could lead to children needing to take several buses to get to school.
TfL has launched a consultation on the proposals which you can find here https://haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/busreview
