SURVEY NEEDS TO BE SUBMITTED THIS TUESDAY / TOMORROW!!!

Surprising how little focus is given to public transport in the Somerset CLIMATE EMERGENCY questionnaire.
Especially so as even Somerset in their briefing admits:

"The majority of emissions in Somerset derive from the transport sector – 46.7%, compared to 29.5% from industry and 23.8% from the domestic sector."

Bus usage has fallen dramatically in Somerset over the past 10 years as bus services have been starved of funding.

When completing the Somerset CLIMATE EMERGENCY survey https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Somerset-Climate-Change-Survey-2019?fbclid=IwAR3kgARBnc8SEfQ8CaUnGN-Tv1ck1V2GUXY_FMKaiiEhxGYi3RFMoS6pQr8

We need to stress how far greater use of public transport and the requisite financial support from SCC‡(resolve) for public transport (especially buses) would make a huge contribution in reducing Somerset's carbon footprint.

Survey needs completing before Feb 25

And once members have made a certain number of posts, they will automatically be admitted to the "frequent posters club", where subjects not-for-public-domain are discussed; anything from the occasional rant to meetups we may be having ...
