Introduce night bus services in Plymouth to keep people safe
For Plymouth local government to introduce night bus services to support the safe travel for residents of the city.
Plymouth is already very far behind the times with its public transport services during the day but they are nonexistent at night.
As we know the headlines have been bombarded with incidences of violence against women and members of the LGBTQ+ community more than ever in recent years. These incidences have occurred often at night and even with all the ‘precautions’ we are told to take as women, these events are still happening and close to home for many now.
Covid and brexit have seen huge shortages in taxi drivers and this increases the risk to people travelling at night especially women.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about local bus services are a matter for local bus operators and the local authority, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
You could raise this issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them: www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors
