I understand that the cost of everyday life is still putting pressure on household budgets in Halesowen and across the UK. Whether it's the weekly food shop, energy bills or simply getting from A to B, every pound counts. For many people in Halesowen, the bus is a lifeline. While no single policy will solve every challenge families face, cutting the cost of bus travel is another practical step that will make a genuine difference to many households here in Halesowen. I'm pleased to see this investment in affordable public transport, and I'll continue working to ensure residents across Halesowen benefit from the support they deserve.
