Report by Deputy Director for Environment & Economy (Highways & Transport) (CMDT4).

 

 

Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Transport considered the future of two bus services which had been operated commercially but which were now subsidised under delegate powers.

 

With regard to Service X15 he noted that that element of the report had been withdrawn following notification by the operator of his intention to resume the service on a commercial basis.

 

With regard to Service 275 he noted that Councillor David Turner supported the recommendation.

 

Having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before me, the representations made to me  and the further considerations set out above I confirm my decision on this matter as follows:

 

to authorise the Deputy Director for Environment & Economy (Highways and Transport, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Transport to negotiate the best level of bus service, at the lowest cost, with Buckinghamshire County Council for the Oxfordshire villages served by bus service No. 275 following consultation with the relevant Parish Councils and local Members.
