PEOPLE are being given the chance to have a say on the future of bus services in Dorset.

A survey has been launched to gain feedback on what residents think about bus services in the county and what can be done to improve them.

Dorset Council is working in partnership with bus operators and other transport providers to deliver improved services and councillors are keen to get feedback from both people who already use buses and from those who don't so they can create a Bus Improvement Plan, which will be published by October 31.

Councillor Ray Bryan, Dorset Council portfolio holder for highways, travel and environment, said: "We are putting current and potential bus users at the heart of this improvement plan.

"We want to design a future bus network that is attractive for passengers, more affordable, simple to use, faster and more reliable, and greener.

"Your views will help us shape the future vision and priorities for the bus network in Dorset, so please take the time to complete the survey."
