The removal of the X2 bus service between Weston and Yatton will mean there is no service between Congresbury and other villages and Yatton, a huge loss to the local infrastructure. Villagers will be reliant on travelling by car to get to essential amenities such as doctors, dentists, vets, the station, schools, work and shops beyond those in the immediate vicinity, or a long walk which is not accessible to many older people, those with younger children or those with mobility difficulties who may all already struggle with independence and be at greater risk of isolation. 

There needs to be more focus on sustainable transport options for environmental reasons plus the rising cost of fuel especially with such limited transport options already serving rural areas. The X2 service is essential in ensuring local people can remain independent and connected.
