The Petition of residents of the constituency of Aberdeen North,

Declares that First Bus have abandoned the people of Footdee (Fittie) with changes to bus services 13 and 15; isolated them from the rest of the city; cut off the only bus service to Aberdeen Beach, negatively impacting the population of Aberdeen as a whole.

The Petitioners therefore request the House of Commons to call upon First Bus to reinstate the bus service to Footdee (Fittie), Aberdeen.

And the Petitioners remain etc. —[Presented by Kirsty Blackman, Official Report 20 July 2022; Vol.718, c.7P.]

Observations from Parliamentary Under Secretary of State Baroness Vere of Norbiton.

The Department for Transport has responsibilities for Bus and Active travel in England. As this is a devolved policy area, we would encourage the community to engage with the Scottish Government and Local Councils on this proposal.
