One thousand caught the buzz Print E-mail
A record number of children and young people from across Dudley borough have given their views on safer bus travel.
 
Members of Dudley Youth Council (DYC) recorded a total of 998 responses from young bus passengers in a recent safer bus travel online survey.

The DYC, which is supported by Dudley Council’s youth service, worked with Dudley safe & sound and Centro, the region’s transport authority, which developed and hosted the survey.
 

 

Mark Babington, Centro’s crime reduction manager, said,
 
“The response is the highest that our research team has ever received for an online survey. It is great that the young people of Dudley are willing to be positively involved in helping us further improve people’s bus journeys.
“Dudley has seen an impressive 28 per cent fall in crime on its bus network over the last year, which is a credit to both the Safer Travel Partnership and Dudley safe & sound. We are now using the views of the young people who took part in the survey to help make bus travel even safer for passengers and importantly make them feel safer.”
 
Responses showed that the vast majority of young people felt safe or very safe when using the bus network in Dudley with recent improvements including CCTV and the Safer Travel Police Team providing significant re-assurance.
 
Councillor Adrian Turner, cabinet member responsible for community safety, said:
“It’s great to see young people getting actively involved in projects such as this and I am pleased to see that crime on the bus network is falling. Although the survey showed that most young people already feel safe when travelling by bus the feedback will help further improvements.”
 
Centro sponsorship included prizes of £200 worth of cinema tickets as well as iPod shuffles and an iPod touch and winners of the survey competition will be announced by DYC shortly.
