Title: Stop Cuts to Bus Services in Hertfordshire
Petition Overview: We the undersigned call on Conservative led Herts County Council to withdraw their proposed and unnecessary Bus cuts, which will have a devastating effect on residents across the County who rely on a publicly funded Bus service to get to work, visit relatives, visit hospital and take part in Leisure activities whether in our towns or in our rural areas. The Coalition Govt inspired cuts should be rejected to provide a properly funded Bus service to help combat congestion in our towns.
Relevant Area(s): Not Specified
Opening Date: 12/03/2015
closing Date: 15/04/2015
Signatures: 125
Petitioner Name: Leon Reefe

The county council has conducted a second consultation on the amount of funding it provides to support local bus services. Based on the feedback we received during the first bus consultation in 2014, the original proposals were amended to reflect some of the concerns raised as well as adding in a review of the value for money criteria which is used to assess which services we should support and ones which we are unable to. Members of the county council considered the feedback from the consultation and its potential impacts and decided that the proposed changes should go forward. Changes to services will take effect from September 2015. Officers of the county council are in discussion with all the bus operators to see if any of the services at risk of funding being withdrawn can be taken on by the bus operators on a commercial basis.
