About this event
Transport in the West of England - Hustings for the next West of England Combined Authority Mayor
The West of England Mayor is the person with the most decision-making power on the future of transport in our region. Should our buses be brought into public control? Should we invest more in cycle infrastructure? Will we ever get trams? When will our pavements be fully accessible with dropped kerbs everywhere there should be? Should there be a single ticket you can use across trains and buses?
A new Mayor will be elected on the 1st May 2025 - come and find out what they have to say about transport before you vote!
Come and ask these questions and more at the Watershed or online on Wednesday 2nd April.
