Hello All,

As many of you know, in my County Councillor capacity, I have been working with officers to come up with an interim ‘rescue package’ for the 21 service which is due to be withdrawn on Sept 2^nd. Passenger numbers are very low and Whippet has been running at a loss for some time. However I am aware that for the few who use it, it is a lifeline and some have no alternative.

We have, over a short time frame, tendered to replace the withdrawn services and analysed the cost. Some will require significant subsidy, including our 21 service. A report was considered by the Economy & Environment Committee this morning and I went along to speak in support of the 21 service.

This was successful and money will be diverted from a small transport fund to support a 21 service for up to 12 months. In the meantime a review will take place to consider how best to find a sustainable solution to carry such a small number of passengers, many of whom only travel on an ad hoc basis.

This means the 21 should carry on uninterrupted for the time being – albeit with a different 0perator.

Kind regards,

Steve Criswell (Cllr)
