Issue details

Purpose of Report: To provide the opportunity to align the council's funding criteria for socially necessary bus services with the new council objective to "support rural bus services and others where there is most need".

Members are asked to approve one of three options; two which would guarantee minimum levels of bus service to areas within the York boundary where the council currently supports a bus service (and for which no commercial alternatives exist), or a third option to retain the current criteria, which does not guarantee any minimum service level.

This item has been withdrawn because it will now be considered as part of the ongoing budget discussions to agree if it will be taken forward.
