The Guardian reports (7 Jan) that people living in deprived areas of England have suffered disproportionately larger cuts to bus services, according research by a leading thinktank.
The analysis by IPPR North found that cuts to services in England had been felt the most in “left-behind neighbourhoods”.
People living in the top 10% most deprived areas have suffered a ten-fold bigger reduction in the distance travelled by bus per person, compared with those living in the top 10% least deprived areas.
