That East Herts Council inform Hertfordshire County Council that it objects to the proposed service reductions proposed in its ‘Public Consultation: Have Your Say On A More Efficient Bus Service For Hertfordshire, July 2014’ for the reasons contained at paragraphs 2.4 to 2.23 of the report submitted, which should form the Council’s formal response.

The Executive Member for Strategic Planning and Transport submitted a report on the public consultation undertaken by Hertfordshire County Council on proposals to implement a reduction in the provision of subsidised bus services in Hertfordshire, which would involve the deletion of some evening and Sunday services.  He also set out a proposed response to the proposals. 

The Executive Member objected to the proposed service reductions and also referred to the impact on infrastructure issues relating to the emerging District Plan.  Other Members also voiced concerns citing examples of poor service in their wards.

The Executive approved the proposed response as now submitted.
