Rochdale MP, Tony Lloyd, is encouraging members of the public to attend the public drop-in events in Rochdale for the Greater Manchester Doing Buses Differently consultation.

The public drop-in events are taking place on:

• Thursday 31 October, 3pm to 7pm at spACE @ Hare Hill House, Hare Hill Park, Littleborough, OL15 9HE

• Thursday 21 November, 9am to 4pm, The Phoenix Centre, Church St, Heywood OL10 1LR

Tony Lloyd MP said, “Private bus companies are leading project fear because they know that the people of Greater Manchester wants better, affordable, publicly controlled buses. 40% of bus companies income is public money, yet we have a bad service, with little control.

“It’s important that many people as possible respond to the consultation, and I’d like to draw attention to the two public drop-in events taking place in Rochdale where officers from Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) will be on hand to answer your questions around the consultation.”
