Bus Services In Gateshead
EDM number 1556 in 2003-04, proposed by David Clelland on 20/07/2004.
That this House condemns the severely detrimental changes to local bus services in Central and West Gateshead announced by bus company Go Ahead and its subsidiary Go North East; considers the proposed cuts in services damaging to the social and economic well being of the residents affected and contrary to any pretence by the company to be a business concerned with public services; calls upon the Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Authority and Gateshead Council to enter into urgent and meaningful discussions with Go North East to ensure the withdrawal of the current proposals and an assurance that public service is not being entirely subjugated to the pursuit of profit; and urges Her Majesty's Government to introduce early measures to ensure that the providers of local bus services are subject to public service agreements and local regulation in the interests of local people.
This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
