FROMES BUS SERVICES UNDER THREAT FOR A SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS

 It was 3 months ago that Frome suffered a bitter blow by First bus cutting 4 out of 5 of our bus services. Luckily those 4 services were taken over by other operators. Now we hear that Scc plan to cut funding to 3 of our Saturday bus services being the 53/ 58 and 414/424 along with the 33 wednesday service to Wincanton.
The 414/ 424 Saturday bus service came under threat of having its funding cut earlier this year in the last round of consultations made by Scc.
The 53/ 58 and 414/ 424 are operated by Frome minibuses who are a small family run operator. Frome minibuses also have their 669 service Shepton to Street under threat of having its Saturday funding withdrawn this will be a devasting blow to them if all of these routes are cut.
