Over 750 local residents have united to call for urgent improvements to the 97/98 bus service that connects Churchdown and Innsworth with Cheltenham and Gloucester. The community’s concerns were formally presented in a petition to Shire Hall on March 25. The petition, initiated by Gloucestershire County Councillor Stewart Dove and supported by Sarah Hands, Tewkesbury Borough Council’s representative for Innsworth and Highnam at Shire Hall, urges Stagecoach to conduct a thorough review of the service.
