The leaflets will be handed out from 11am today, Thursday, to alert people to the service cuts proposed by Lancashire County Council from April 2016, saving £7.5m.

The cuts would leave some rural areas completely devoid of public transport although Stagecoach said it would review some of the routes.

Our leaflets list the services together with contact details for county councillors so that people can make their views known to them before the full Council meeting on February 11.”
