We Need Our Bus! Report

Community led research from Dunterlie Action Group shows the removal of the 52 bus service has disproportionately affected disabled people, older adults, and women.

Dunterlie in Barrhead is an area rich in community activity and participation. The area has also felt the rising tide of inequality with some members of the community locked in poverty. The 52 bus service connected the community in Dunterlie to vital services. The health centre, the library, the leisure centre, cost of living support, council offices, museums, shops, and the wider area offering onward links to Paisley and Glasgow. For some, the 52 bus service was their only transport option to access these services.

This new research from Dunterlie Action Group shows the need for communities to access support and resources in ways that work for them.
