Arriva have said they are considering closing their Winsford and Macclesfield depots. If this goes ahead, they would no longer operate any bus services in the Winsford, Northwich, Crewe and Macclesfield areas. Other towns and villages would also be affected, the full list of routes at risk is -

• 84 Crewe - Nantwich/Chester
• 6 Leighton Hospital - Shavington
• 31 Northwich - Winsford - Crewe
• 37 Northwich - Winsford - Sandbach - Crewe
• 38 Crewe - Macclesfield
• 7 Winsford Local Circular
• 1 Northwich Circular via Rudheath and Weaverham
• 4 Barnton to Leftwich and Kingsmead via Northwich
• 3 Macclesfield - Weston
• 4 Macclesfield - Upton Priory
• 5 & 6 Macclesfield - Broken Cross
• 9 Macclesfield - Moss Rose
• 10 Macclesfield - Bollington

A loss of bus services is unacceptable to the residents who rely on them. This is why Labour's plan to take back control of our buses is so important. The privatisation agenda of the Tories has failed communities and it's time for a change.

Councillors and MPs were given no advance notice of these plans. We have asked for an urgent meeting with Arriva to discuss alternatives and to try to find a way forward until we get the changes we need.
