Issue - decisions

Resolved:  That Option 2 be approved and the existing home to school transport contracts with York Pullman Bus Co. Ltd. be extended for a period of 2 years, from 1 August 2022 to 31 July 2024, and that authority be delegated to the Director of Prevention & Commissioning and Education, in consultation with the Director of Governance and the Chief Finance Officer, to sign a variation to the contract to extend it for 2 years.

Reason:     To ensure that there is provision in place to meet the Local Authority’s statutory duties in relation to home to school transport until a review of the Tadcaster bus contracts has taken place.  This will require Member consideration and also a public consultation if it is proposed that the Tadcaster bus contract is ended.
