Essex County Council (ECC) is reviewing its support for 162 local bus services. We want your help to ensure that our future bus network is ready to meet new levels of passenger demand and is providing value for money. ECC is therefore conducting this public consultation regarding these local bus services.
The 9/9A Bus service supporting Shalford is classed as a Low Use Service and as such it is proposed to withdraw the service and to replace with an Extended DigiGo to cover area.
