Decision:
As detailed in the recommendations.
Minutes:
Councillor Attridge explained that it was intended that only a core network of bus routes would be maintained in the County, largely made up of commercial bus services, with minimal support provided to ensure that essential regular connections were retained at key hubs along the routes. Other commercially operated routes could also operate in the County, but they would not be within the control of the Council and may not receive any subsidy.
RESOLVED:
(a) That the proposed core network of bus routes be approved; and
(b) That the withdrawal of the existing subsidised journeys and routes that are poorly used and no longer sustainable or affordable and the mitigating actions that are intended to reduce the impact of the proposals in the community currently services by each route be withdrawn.
