A councillor said he had received dozens of letters and emails from worried Shrewsbury residents who see the bus service as a 'lifeline'.
The number 20 route from the town's bus station to Radbrook Green was saved in limited form afterMeole councillor Bernie Bentick presented the petition at a committee meeting at Shropshire Council on Wednesday. He has also called for action over routes 544 and 546, which service the West Meole area.
"I and the West Meole residents whom I serve are extremely grateful to Shropshire Council for stepping in and providing a reprieve of the execution of their essential bus services until April 2023.” He added: “Many West Meole residents would regard the axing of their buses as a lifetime prison sentence of themselves and their mobility. I recently conducted a survey of West Meole residents and the majority wanted these bus services to continue.
