"I am aware of the current proposals to close Arriva bus depots locally and know that consultation on this is ongoing. I know this is of significant concern to many of my constituents who are bus users who rely on these services for shopping, hospital visits and getting to school and any constituents who are employed at these local depots.

"I and other Cheshire MPs met with Arriva immediately this week on hearing of the proposals to discuss this, highlight concerns, and see what could be done.

"I would encourage constituents to make their views known to Arriva during the consultation process through their contact details online at https://www.arrivabus.co.uk/help/contact-us and am making further enquiries of my own."

She has been Congleton's MP since 2010, and will run in the next General Election.
