A local transport firm is hoping to step in and provide a rural bus service to Nantwich villages after D&G decided to axe key routes.
Hit The Road Travel are exploring a new two-hourly circular route connecting Nantwich to Barbridge, Bunbury, Ravensmoor, Wrenbury and Aston.
The minibus and coach hire firm, based in Sound, are also hoping to expand the route to Audlem as well.
They are now planning to approach Cheshire East Council for permission to run the service.
Cheshire East Council said it would maintain 72 service as this is also a school transport service bringing pupils to and from Nantwich schools.
But others services would leave many living in rural communities without cars isolated.
Hit The Road Travel managing director Christopher Mathias said: “As a small family business our priority is the community in which we serve. To create jobs and provide a sustainable future for the next generation.
“The plan is to run a circular route unfortunately bus fares would be a little higher as there is no council funding available.
“We will have to apply for the council to allow this but this is all the hoops they make us jump through.
“However, looking at the max journey ticket costing no more the £2.50 with returns costing £4.50.
“A full round trip is about an hour but we hope to have one running in each direction.”
