Call For Improved Public Transport for Yorkshire Coast Towns

The state of Public transport on the North Yorkshire Coast is being questioned by local councillors.

More needs to be done to improve public transport on the Yorkshire Coast according to a local councillor.

Subash Sharma represents Newby on the new North Yorkshire Council

He says the creation of the new unitary council is an opportunity to improve local transport connections.

Councillor Sharma says reports of bus journey times of over an hour between Whitby and Scarborough aren't good enough.

He wants the creation of the new North Yorkshire Council to be a catalyst for public transport improvements.
