“We are working hard to review, enhance and secure bus services across Redditch.

Rachel has written to the Bus Minister as part of her mission to do everything she can to support local bus services

Rachel is encouraging residents to return to the buses and use local services.

Rachel Maclean, the MP for Redditch County, is raising awareness of a travel discount card that helps lower the cost of finding work in the hope more jobseekers in Redditch will take advantage of the scheme. 

Roads in Redditch which have been badly affected by the recent winter weather are set to benefit from the £1.6million in funding awarded to Worcestershire County Council from the Department for Transport’s pothole fund.

Rachel Maclean, MP for Redditch County, today took the next steps in her campaign to get more peak time express train services from Redditch by raising the issue with the Rail Minister.
