now to oppose the motion from the east midlands, i call and please welcome daria eckert. [applause] i live in between link a share and lester, and like most places, we are dependent on public transport to take us to school or to see friends. in lincolnshire, i know it's a real issue to get from one village to the next. we have tried to work with our best companies to make improvements, but it may take a long time before we reach a conclusion. however, in leicester city, the story is different. there are different issues, such as mental health or the living wage. can the campaign be a coordinated success if we come from different places with different needs? the person sitting next to you may have a very different public transport network to you. each community needs public transport as a community. transport takes time, commitment, and huge investment. four years ago, transport was our national campaign, although not much has changed. we should be using the committee's recommendations. how sensible are those demands? who will pay? we'll be asking local councils to help. m
