“The majority of bus services are run by commercial operators, with the Council taking action to subsidise those services it considers to be necessary within the constraints of its available funding

“We are committed to playing our full role to improve the provision of public transport and continue to work with the various bus operators to ensure that the services are meeting the needs of residents throughout the County Borough.”
