Issue - decisions

Resolved:           That the Executive Member approved Option 2b and approved funding of the free weekend bus travel initiative for the months of January and February 2016. Officers will then bring a report to a further Executive Member Decision Session summarising the costs and benefits of the initiative before proposing a further extension of the scheme.

Reason:              In the short term, to encourage young people to make greater use of the local bus network. In the longer term, to persuade young people to apply for a ‘YOzone’ card which will encourage and embed sustainable travel habits in the months and years ahead.
