Decision details

Local Bus Services to Wheldrake and villages to the South East of York

Decision Maker: Decision Session - Executive Member for Transport - Expired, Executive Member for Transport and Planning

Decision status: Decision Made

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Purpose of Report: This report is brought in light of the decision by East Yorkshire Motor Services to discontinue operation of bus route 18 (which links York to the villages of Wheldrake, Thorganby, North Duffield, Bubwith and Holme on Spalding Moor) from 6/5/18.


The Executive Member is asked to give his consideration to ongoing provision of a local bus service to connect York with some or all of the villages along the existing route.

The Council aims to give the same 28 days’ clear notice of non key decisions as it does for key decisions, but in exceptional circumstances this may not be possible. In this case, the item is being considered as an urgent matter due to the discontinue operation of bus route 18 from 6 May 2018 and the need to consider options prior to this date.

 

Decision:

Resolved:                     (a) That the award of a short-term (3 month) contract for the service outlined at option B be agreed.

 

(b) That a full procurement exercise, to secure best value for money from the service and to ensure that it is delivered with a vehicle meeting the latest emissions standard, be undertaken. If this is beyond the current budget, it will be brought to a future decision session.

 

(c) That the use of a Euro IV emissions vehicle for the short-term contract be agreed, in light of the short notice and duration of this contract.

 

Reason:                        To ensure the continued operation of a local bus service to Wheldrake and other villages to the south east of York.
