Railway survey

We’re campaigning to improve rail services to and from Newbury and the surrounding area, and we need your help to do it. By taking a few minutes to complete our survey, you’ll help make sure we’re fighting for the things that matter most to local commuters and rail users. I have successfully campaigned for a new bus route from Newbury up the A34 to Didcot and successfully lobbied for £2.6m to improve bus services as well as securing new flexible rail tickets. There’s still much more to do. Please fill in my survey and together we can make Newbury a better place to live.
