SPARK (Save the Park And Ride Campaign) 14 Feb 2009

Sara Spinks, founder of SPARK, and Michael Wills MP (Lab, North Swindon) being interviewed by ITV West News.

Swindon Borough Council plans to "mothball" the Groundwell Park & Ride service to save money in the 2009 budget. Commuters living to the north of Swindon depend on the park & ride service to get to work. Rural bus services are not frequent or reliable enough for the commuters to use and driving into Swindon is not an option, due to both parking costs and congestion on Cricklade Road.

Swindon Borough Council will make a decision on the future of the park & ride at the budget meeting on Monday 23rd February.
