Melksham Mayor and local councillor for Melksham South Jon Hubbard has described the closure of the D3 bus service between Bath and Melksham as a bitter blow for the town.

Jon has written to the Wiltshire Council Cabinet Member for transport asking for reassurance the current subsidised evening and Sunday services will be maintained.

Jon commented, “and it is important that this service is maintained by a new provider.

“These evening and Sunday services provide a vital link between Melksham and Bath”

“Without this service some people will struggle getting to work, college or even for hospital appointments at the RUH”.
