In their campaign for a direct bus service between Crouch End and Highgate, the Liberal Democrats have launched a text poll for local people to register their support or opposition to the idea. Mobile phone users can text LIBDEM BUS YES to the number 60300 if they support the bus route, or LIBDEM BUS NO if they do not.

Lib Dem GLA member and chair of the Greater London Authority’s Transport Committee Lynne Featherstone hopes the poll will put pressure on London Buses to look at providing a direct bus link as it reviews services. Ms Featherstone says that the lack of a direct bus link between the two centres is a constant issue in her mailbag, and would provide a vital missing link in local bus services.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“I hope our text poll will help to keep the pressure up on London buses over the issue. Many people have already signed our written petition, and the text poll makes it even easier to respond. We need a better bus service between Crouch End and Highgate, as the existing routes simply don’t connect the two centres.”
