After having their number 17 bus service slashed, elderly and vulnerable residents now face having to walk longer distances to access bus services. However, some of their nearest bus stops lack seating or even timetables. Wendy Zealand, District […]

Agreed changes to Sheffield bus routes have been criticised by local campaigners for once again isolating elderly and vulnerable residents.
