Town councillors have this week welcomed plans by Somerset County Council to improve bus services in Burnham-On-Sea.
Mark Pedlar, Passenger Transport Group manager at the county council, revealed that a review of all bus services is underway.
And despite fears that bus services in the town could be cut back, the proposed timetable sees a number of positive changes.
“We note with approval the considerable improvements to the Burnham to Wells and Wookey Hole service, which will comprise seven services daily compared to the current five,” said Burnham-On-Sea town councillor Chris Williams.
“Six of the services will be extended from and to Pier Street, via Love Lane, Tescos and Ben Traver’s Way.”
He added: “We are also pleased to see the reinstatement of the evening Weston to Bridgwater service, and the summer-only evening service of additional journeys for the Weston to Highbridge route.”
“We note that minor alterations are envisaged for the Highbridge to Berrow service and would like to be fully involved and consulted in any changes.”
The news came as Burnham town councillors called on the County Council to introduce an all-day bus travel card in our area, from Whitsun to September, when road congestion caused by an influx of visitors is at is height.
