Verbal update to the Strategic Planning and Infrastructure Committee on 7th December 2021.
1.3 The Parking Services Manager was contacted by Arriva on 7th December just prior to presenting the report revising the shortfall estimate to £50,000 per quarter next year, partly due to additional increases in fuel and driver costs. This was presented as a verbal update to the Strategic Planning and Infrastructure Committee.
