William Wragg presented a petition signed by hundreds of local residents against Transport for Greater Manchester's (TfGM) plans to remove the Hawk Green and Mellor leg of the 375 route. Despite his strong campaign, the committee decided to axe the bus.
However, in a further development, William's petition presented such a strong reaction, that the TfGM committee have been forced to re-think their plans.
William said: "It was clear from day one that removing the last bus from Hawk Green and Mellor is a completely untenable. I will now work with TfGM and local Councillors to ensure that Hawk Green and Mellor are served by a reasonable and fair bus service."
William added: "My petition remains open for local residents to sign here https://www.williamwragg.org.uk/campaigns/save-375-bus-hawk-green-and-mellor .I will update this website once there is a further update."
