Issue details
Replacement for Bus Service 18
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.
