Save Our Bus 33 Norton Canes (SOB 33 NC) Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/save-our-bus-33-norton-canes-sob-33-nc.html Online petition signatures en-us Sun, 12 Apr 2026 02:25 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Miss Hannah Gidwell [Signature #85] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/15686486?utm_medium=rss I am very angry and annoyed to hear they are taking the number 32 bus route away from us. I've relied on that bus service for years, work and generally getting to cannock. Now the closest bus stop is a tiresome walk of over a mile up the village!? It's unfair and ridiculous, I am 21 years old and I am able to reluctantly walk the distance, but for the more elderly members of our community, it's going to become very difficult. At the very best, norton canes bus services into cannock aren't very good and this is just another the nail in the coffin. I see no justification as to why this decision is being made, now you've made walsall and cannock almost unreachable to those of us who live in this part of norton. I hope this petition has its desired effect because it would be an absolute crime to drop this service when so many, including myself, rely on it.

Many of the local community rely on this service for their everyday needs,
i.e Shops/ doctors / dentists / chemists etc..
This link is the only way of getting to the village for many people.
Remove it and what option does it leave them...... NONE !!!!!!!!!!

There are many elderly people, who are not fully mobile, on that triangle who, without the service, would be unable to even shop for their basic needs and I feel that they are entitled to the human right of an accessible bus service to enable access for the basics of living. An hourly service would at least give people that accessibility. Please reconsider humanely.
