Bus Service Provision
Campaign for Better Transport made this Freedom of Information request to Denbighshire County Council This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.
To whom it may concern,
I am making this request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I am gathering information on bus and public transport provision in Denbighshire as part of our Save the Buses campaign, which maps cuts to bus services across the country. We know that the Government have made deep cuts to local authority budgets, and that this is having an effect on the provision of local bus services. We would like to gather a national picture of bus cuts, so that we can explain to central Government exactly how their decisions are having an impact across the country.
My questions are as follows:
1. What is Denbighshire Council’s total budget for supported bus services in 2014/15?
2. What was Denbighshire Council’s total budget for supported bus services in 2013/14?
3. What was Denbighshire Council’s total budget for supported bus services in 2012/13?
4. What was Denbighshire Council’s total budget for supported bus services in 2011/12?
5. What was Denbighshire Council’s total budget for supported bus services in 2010/11?
6. What is the budget for supported bus services as a percentage of the total transport budget? (For the purposes of this request 'transport' includes highway maintenance, home to school/college transport; adult social care transport; demand responsive transport; special educational need transport and voluntary driver schemes, cycling and walking, roads spending, supported bus services and fares).
7. How many and which supported routes have had cuts in services in the fiscal year 2014/15 (for example loss of weekend or evening services)?
8. How many and which supported routes have been completely withdrawn in the fiscal year 2014/15?
9. What changes have been made to non-statutory concessionary fare schemes in the fiscal year 2014/15?
Yours faithfully,
Martin Abrams
