Bristol, Bath and the West

We believe the best way to tackle congestion and improve bus services for the future is to work closely with Local Authorities.  We have signed Punctuality Improvement Partnerships (PIP)  with North Somerset and Bath, North East Somerset, Somerset and South Gloucestershire councils aleady and will be soon signing a similar agreement with Bristol City council.

These agreements commit to achieve real improvements through infrastructure changes, enforced parking regulations, technological advancements, introducing newer buses, increasing the number of easy-access low floor vehicles and being more responsive to the needs of our customers.

We also have a strong partnership with Avon and Somerset Constabulary – Police Sergeant Nigel Chapman is seconded to First to tackle all elements of bus-related crime for both staff and customers.

We are working closely with local authorities, stakeholders and developers during the multi-million shopping re-developments in Broadmead in Bristol and Southgate in Bath.
