Young people in Taunton and Wellington are being asked to share their views on public transport.

The survey, focusing on bus services in the constituency, has been launched by Liberal Democrat MP Gideon Amos, with the support of James Lawson, one of Somerset’s representatives at the national Youth Parliament.

The feedback collected through the survey will help shape future improvements.

Mr Amos said: "Young people are an extremely important demographic of people who rely on public transport.

"That is why I want to know their views on what is working for them and, more importantly, what isn't.

"We’ll be collating all the information into a report which we will then take to transport operators and local authorities as part of our drive for improvements in line with people's wishes and needs."

Mr Lawson said: "This survey represents a thoughtful and practical step forward, driven by our desire to see direct, positive outcomes for young people in our communities.

"I am proud to be involved in an initiative which listens to young people’s experiences and works to turn their feedback into real change."

The survey is being promoted across schools and colleges in the area.

Any young person who has not seen the survey can request a copy from their school or college office or by emailing OfficeofGideonAmos@parliament.uk.
