Issue - meetings

Paul Spooner, the interim Director of Planning and Development, introduced the report setting out the progress made on public transport interventions.

Mr Spooner told the Board that:

·  Work had been undertaken with public transport operators to improve the quality and frequency of services. Proposals from operators had included subsidies.

·  There was a proposal to refresh the bus station in Maidstone which included its becoming self-financing. The Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Officers would liaise to arrange a date for further detail to come to the Board.

Concerns raised by the Board included the recent stopping of a Park and Ride service and fair pricing for public transport within the Borough.

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
