6. Kingsbridge Local Bus Services

As a result of the discussion on local bus services at the meeting of the South Hams HATOC on 29 July 2011, the CCSO arranged a meeting of local Members in Kingsbridge on 18 October 2011 to explain in more detail the constraints, and limited options available, within the current public transport spending levels set by the County Council in February 2011. In addition to being raised at the HATOC, a similar discussion took place at the last meeting of the South Hams Voluntary Sector Forum. Attendance at the Kingsbridge meeting was extended to include representatives from voluntary organisations that attended the Forum so that the concerns could be explored in the round, rather than at separate meetings.

The focus of the discussion on 18th October was about the principles used to determine the overall pattern of reductions and then also the particular impact on services in and around the Kingsbridge area, as well as the connections through the Totnes "hub" to Exeter and to Torbay Hospital. By the end of the meeting the issues had been worked through and a number of actions identified for further consideration.

Members will recall receiving an email from the CCSO that set out the responses to those detailed actions.

7. Feedback from District Council and DALC Representatives

Representatives to report
