Last week at the Transport Decisions Committee it was agreed by the County Council's Cabinet Member for Transport to award contracts for subsidising some of our local evening and weekend services. If you recall, there was a consultation on these services earlier in the year - see here. This will mean that our 31 Stagecoach buses to Oxford in the evenings will be maintained as an hourly service which is of great value to everyone wishing to travel home after a theatre/concert visit or from travelling further afield via. trains and airports. Other services which will continue to be subsidised are the 32 buses to Harwell and Didcot, 36 buses to Milton Park and Didcot (via Steventon) and the 38 Town Service.
The Wantage IAC (Independent Advice Centre) had also put in an increased bid for continuing with their valuable community car scheme. Unfortunately, the decision on this grant has been deferred until a review has been done on all transport schemes at the County Council. I hope this uncertainty will not affect the running of the scheme.
