CPCA approves updated bus network plans, leading to service cuts in Cambridgeshire
What happened
The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority approved updated bus network plans that link Newmarket and Brinkley. The authority stated that some fixed-line bus services will cease operation because usage in those communities was extremely low. Mayor Paul Bristow said the new network aims to provide more reliable journeys and better connections across the region.

Why it matters
The changes affect regional transport policy in Cambridgeshire. While the authority aims for better connections, local officials noted that losing bus services could impact villagers' access to essential local services such as shops and banking.
The Combined Authority is currently redesigning services in Fenland, and the Mayor commented on the bus network review.
