East Sussex County Council has been accused of playing Scrooge after axeing bus services just before Christmas.

Chris Smith from the Love Your Bus Campaign commented on last week’s announcement and said: “A small group of councillors overruled a decision by East Sussex Council at a full council meeting and decided to cut bus services.

“In a move which many people will think shows that democracy is vanishing, a small committee of Conservative council members has decided to cut bus services despite the full council voting against this move and despite over 3,000 responses to a consultation, most of which opposed the cuts.
