Help shape the future of bus travel
We want your views on the future of bus travel in North Somerset.
If you’re interested in the future of local bus travel, want to tell us and bus operators about your travel experiences, or suggest improvements or changes, join our Bus Forum.
The forum provides a platform for people to share their experiences, insights and suggestions about bus services in the area.
Feedback received last year led to Claverham and Cleeve having access to a bus service after previously being without one for 18 months, when the X5 was re-routed to serve the villages.
The next online forum is on Monday 25 November, from 6pm to 7.30pm. Sign up online.
An in-person event will also be held at Clevedon Town Council, in Old Street, from 3.30pm on Wednesday 27 November. Sign up online.
If you can’t attend either event but would still like to submit feedback, email your comments or suggestions to bsip.engagement@n-somerset.gov.uk
