Stagecoach South West will be running a further surgery event in North Devon to garner feedback on its bus network. It follows similar events in East-the-Water, Bideford and Appledore, which were organised after residents complained and put together petitions following changes to bus routes announced earlier this year. The surgery will take place at Barnstaple Guildhall on Tuesday, May 17 and will run from 10am to 2pm.
