A second consultation on Surrey County Council’s local transport review has been launched, giving residents and stakeholders until 8 June to have their say on proposed changes to local bus services.
Proposed changes to local bus services
We have worked with bus operators to negotiate better contracts that will give the council better value for money. However, to make the required savings needed from the review, we are now proposing some changes to local bus services, and want to hear residents’ and stakeholders’ views in a second consultation.
How to have your say
· By completing the online survey at surreycc.gov.uk/ transportreview
· By completing the paper questionnaire, available in libraries, local council offices and on buses in all areas of Surrey and neighbouring counties where there are proposed changes to bus services.
· By phoning 0300 200 1003 (SMS: 07527 182 861) to request a copy of the questionnaire sent straight to your door.
· In person at a public event – find out more at surreycc.gov.uk/ transportreview.
· By emailing localtransportreview@surreycc. gov.uk
· Or by writing to: Local Transport Review, Room 365, County Hall, Kingston Upon Thames KT1 2DN
We would welcome your support in helping to raise awareness of this second consultation. Attached with this email is a poster that can be printed out to help publicise the consultation in your area. Please feel free to forward this email and the attached poster to any group or individual who you feel may want to have their say on the proposed changes.
Please note: In the first consultation we undertook a review of the two extra concessions that the council funds for some concessionary pass holders (free travel for disabled pass holders before 9.30am or after 11.00pm and free companion passes). The feedback was that these extra benefits are greatly valued, and as a result we are now not proposing to change these concessions.
