Issue - meetings

Cabinet received a report recommending revisions and enhancements to the tendered bus service network in Lancashire aimed at providing links to communities, particularly in rural areas, and to increase the frequency on a number of services where there is most demand for additional journeys, to try and create more sustainable services for the future.

Resolved: That

  i.  the proposed revisions to the tendered bus service network in Lancashire as set out in the report be approved.

  ii.  officers be requested develop the detailed service schedules and undertake the necessary contract procurement process to allow the revised service network to commence from 10 December 2017.

  iii.  the decision be implemented immediately for the purposes of Standing Order 35 as any delay could adversely affect the execution of the County Council's responsibilities, specifically to ensure that the revised tendered bus service network will commence from 10 December 2017.
