buses and Milton Keynes

Alan Morris did a good presentation last night on the 158 evening bus route from Milton Keynes via the Yoonee.


Members have provisionally agreed to jointly support the service from November to April next year. This is when MK full support was due to end. 

We are basing our support  on  the calculation that the annual cost is £15,000 (£50 x 6 per week = £300 x 50 weeks) and MKBC are seeking 50% support for six months That will be divided between the Parish Council and Yoonee. This reflects that there is a split between students who use the service to get back and forward to MK where they live and those who shuttle between the village and the campus.

Alan explained that with 12 months breathing space we can then look at what resources are available and what is the optimal way of using them. in the following financial year.
