West Sussex County Council are currently considering reducing or removing subsidy to these routes. They therefore need to hear your views if you are a user of the bus. To date the services that have been affected in phase one and two of the three phase review mostly centre around late evening, early morning or weekend services. The County Council is keen to ensure that the most used and necessary services remain funded and in place. The County Council are also keen to point out that even though they may remove subsidy this does not necessarily mean that services will be reduced as this is the decision of the bus operator.

If you have a view as to the services above you should tell West Sussex County County what you think. They are conducting surveys between 23rd November and 17th January. A web survey is available at www.westsussex.gov.uk/buses If you would like paper copies of the survey or alternative formats phone 01243 642105 or email buses@westsussex.gov.uk.

Further information on the routes affected by Phases 1 and 2 can be found at www.westsussex.gov.uk/buses
