Supported Bus Services – NTBCC Deputation

A report on Supported Bus Services was presented at the Transport and Environment Committee (TEC) meeting today including a lessons learned report on the procurement exercise conducted last year. We were disappointed that although the lack of community engagement was one of the primary reasons that the report was commissioned, there had been no contact with us or other community councils by the consultant conducting the lessons learned exercise. We therefore submitted a written deputation to the committee to register our disappointment and also to highlight a couple of other issues that we thought should be considered. A copy of that deputation can be accessed through the following link:

If you have any feedback on how the number 13 bus service is operating since it was taken over by the new operator last December, please let us know using the contact form on our website.
