The Brighton and Hove Bus Company are currently consulting with bus users to hear their comments and concerns about the alterations, which are scheduled for later this year.

The 18, 21, and 21A bus routes were implemented earlier in 2014, and were brought in to replace the old 81 bus route. As these have now run for several months, and with adaptations expected to be implemented in September this year, the Bus Company are holding a consultation to gather views about the current service, and also comments on the proposed changes.

Mr Kirby recently attended a meeting with Brighton and Hove Buses to discuss these bus routes, particularly as they are a vital service for many people living in the Kemptown and Queens Park area of Brighton Kemptown, and is calling on those who have an opinion on the changes to make their opinions heard.

Simon said: “As Brighton and Hove Buses provide a vital service to many people in Brighton Kemptown, I believe that it is important to run public consultations prior to making significant changes. This is a perfect opportunity for residents and bus users to share their opinions on the changes that have happened, and the planned alterations for September this year.

“Anybody who wishes to share their opinion can do so by email: queenspark@buses.co.uk, telephone: 01273 886200, and also through social media.”
