The Council currently plans to spend just over half of what other cities are spending on public transport, and this small amount includes nothing for local rail. Getting a half hourly service on the Severn Beach line is a good starting point for improving the local rail network as a whole.)

We have produced hundreds of yellow postcards for people to fill in and send to the Council's budget consultation, to say they support the campaign. The deadline for the consultation is 15 January.

1) We need people to fill in and distribute yellow postcards (and explanatory campaign leaflets). If you can do this, please ring FOSBR on 0117 942 8637 and ask for however many postcards/leaflets you want.

2) Come with us to lobby the Cabinet to include our demand in their budget 5.30 - 6.30pm, Thursday 11th January
Council House, College Green

It would be great if you could also:
- Write to your councillor to ask them to support the campaign. So far only one councillor (Rosalie Walker) has given her support. Let's put pressure on the others!

- Write to your MP to ask them to support the campaign. Kerry McCarthy has given her support, but the others haven't responded.

This year, FOSBR are getting organised...and we think the Council's getting nervous...we might actually win this!

Together we can do it!
