Reason for this Petition
This petition of residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly the neglect, disregard and dismay of Wanniassa residents who have been disadvantaged by the recent bus network changes and closure of bus stops in the suburb of Wanniassa. This affects residents including school children, the elderly, workers, people with mobility impairments, mothers, fathers and carers, grandparents, in fact all residents.
Your petitioners therefore call on the Assembly to:
Call on the ACT Government to reinstate some if not all Wanniassa bus routes and bus stops to enable social inclusion, ease of transport, and accessibility for Wanniassa residents.
