Sunday bus services run thanks to Beds Borough

  

Letter from Bedford Borough regarding
Sunday bus services.





Thank you for contacting me regarding the V2 Sunday Service, I hope that you
will have received a letter from Mr Jonathan Farr, our Public Transport
Officer at Bedford Borough Council. If not then please let me advise you
regarding the V2 Service.

This service was shared between Bedford Borough Council and Central
Bedfordshire. Central Bedfordshire Council have ceased their funding on this
route and others, leaving services threatened and adversely impacting
communities across the area. Mayor Dave Hodgson has indicated that this is
not acceptable and the result of such a move is a damaging effect upon those
who can least afford alternative modes of transport. 

For this reason Bedford Borough Council has agreed to continue supporting
the Sunday V2 and we are seeking to determine ways in which Bedford Borough
Council can continue to offer a service, notwithstanding the cuts to public
services implemented by other councils. 



Best wishes
Charles Royden
Portfolio Holder for Highways and Transport
Deputy Mayor Bedford Borough Council
