This morning I visited the biggest bus driver training centre in the country – in Southwark – to meet with local workers and trade union officials. Harriet Harman, the council leader and other local reps listened to the concerns about jobs and apprenticeships due to the Government denying a long term funding settlement for Transport for London, forcing potential cuts to local bus routes and services.
This will affect passengers dramatically and impede London’s ability to rebuild after the damage of covid, which will affect the national economy. But Tory Ministers are too busy promising more cuts and economic woes as they battle to replace their lawbreaking Prime Minister.
If you haven’t yet – please respond to the consultation to try and protect our services!
