Labour has promised to speed up the franchising process in order to end the 'postcode lottery' of bus services. The plan aims to increase passenger journeys and give local transport authorities more control.
Labour has pledged to end the ‘ postcode lottery ’ of bus services by speeding up the franchising process
In addition to removing barriers to franchising, greater flexibility over funding, safeguarding of vital routes, and support for public ownership are proposed. “Labour will give every community the power to take back control of their bus services, and will support local leaders to deliver better buses, faster.
Labour said the plan won’t require additional central government spending, but will ensure better value for money for the taxpayer.He said: “Labour’s bus nationalisation policy won’t work but will force huge council tax hikes. Just look at Labour’s West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin, her policy on buses is expected to cost at least a hundred million pounds, with no clue how to pay for it.
At a mayoral launch event in the West Midlands, Ms Haigh is expected to announce that a Labour government would pass new legislation to support local transport authorities in its first term.Manchester and London are pointed to as the blueprints for successful franchising of bus services, and the party said it aims to achieve this elsewhere within two years.

Labour criticised for copying Tory economic policyRachel Reeves has been slammed after she said Labour would copy a key Tory economic policy. The shadow chancellor said overall public debt should fall year-on-year as a share of GDP by the fifth year of official forecasts. This policy was adopted by the Tories in November 2022. It would mean Labour can only borrow for investment but not day-to-day spending. This would limit the amount of money the government has to spend. The SNP has warned the move will "choke off economic growth and impose devastating cuts to public services". Unite the Union said the plans would mean Labour will "end up in a straitjacket of your own making." SNP economy spokesperson Drew Hendry said: "Yesterday's speech from the Shadow Chancellor confirmed what the SNP have been saying for some time now: the fiscal policies of the Tories and Sir Keir Starmer's Labour Party are now indistinguishable. "Labour's decision to adopt the Tories second fiscal rule will only choke off economic growth and impose devastating cuts to public services.

The Shadow Chancellor had a chance to end that silence. "Instead, she has tried to pull the wool over people's eyes"
