Laura Farris MP met with Buses Minister Richard Holden MP to continue pushing for a bus service between Newbury, Harwell and Oxford, a campaign she launched last year which has already seen West Berkshire receive £2.6 million of additional funding from the Government for buses.
The Department for Transport are still deciding on how this £2.6 million can be spent and Laura is hopeful that Ministers will agree with her, local bus companies, and West Berkshire Council that a new north-south route along the A34 stopping at Harwell Campus, Didcot, Milton Park and Abingdon should be given the green light.
