Minutes:

Team Manager Public Transport – Andy Strong introduced the report which provides an overview of Community Transport. He explained that while this is not a statutory function for the Council, volunteer groups have always been supported where there is a need.

 

Councillor Simmons added that he would like to see the use of electric or hybrid buses. He also stated that it is a better use of money to buy second hand buses rather than new ones and that Keynsham already does this. The officer stated that he will be talking to other schemes and discussing issues like this.

 

The Chair thanked the officer for the update.
