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.
