Petition launched to stop cuts to Lambeth bus services

Posted on by

Lambeth Labour has launched a petition against planned government cuts to local bus services in the borough, some of which will affect bus routes that run through Myatt’s Fields.

Local Labour councillors, including Cllr Paul Gadsby, and Streatham MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy signing Lambeth Labour’s petition at the Lambeth Country show.

The petition states:

“Under current plans, drawn up by Transport for London (TfL) in response to Tory cuts, the following local buses are affected:

• Route 45 would be completely withdrawn and no longer run at all.
• Route 59 would no longer serve stops between Holmewood Road and Telford Avenue. It would instead extend to Clapham Park via Streatham Place.

The changes would affect a number of other buses which go through Lambeth, including the 133 & N133 – full details of proposed changes can be found at haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/busreview “

Local councillors Paul Gadsby and Annie Gallop are urging Myatt’s Fields residents to sign the petition, as well as contribute to the Tfl review.
