Call for action by Liberal Democrat Cllrs at Warwick Cllrs Sarah Boad & Bill Gifford will present a motion to County Council July 1st that calls for elected members to work cross party to support local bus services.
The motion states that It is noted that the provision of local bus services in the County
have suffered during the pandemic with a reduced frequency
of the service and a large drop in the number of passengers.
It is also noted that a good and regular service is essential to
achieve the modal shift required to reduce the number of car
journeys.
This Council resolves to set up a cross party working group to
work with officers to draw up a fully costed Bus Service
Improvement Plan for approval by Cabinet by the end of
October 2021:
The plan should
- include an aim to deliver a comprehensive service for
Warwickshire; - encourage greater use of buses;
- encourage greater uptake and use of bus passes;
- investigate the use of electric and hydrogen buses
Proposer: Councillor Sarah Boad
Seconder: Councillor Bill Gifford
Amendments by both the Conservative & Green groups are being made to the motion
