MORE than 1,000 drivers at First West of England in Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare and Wells are to be balloted for strike action.

- Kirsty MCCRUM

The Unite union has warned that the drivers could take action after rejecting an unsatisfactory pay offer.

Strike action would cause major disruption to bus services in and around Bristol as industrial action would hit six depots. In Bristol, the First West of England drivers work at Bristol Bus Station, Lawrence Hill and Hengrove, which provide inner-city bus routes in the city as well as services for Bristol Airport, the local universities and Amazon’s Bristol warehouse.

The other three depots being balloted are Weston-Super-Mare, Bath and Wells.
