Additional documents: Minutes: The Panel considered the report of the Senior Manager, Communities, Change and Partnerships for the Panel to note the update on progress with the review into public and sustainable transport provision, the impact of proposed subsidy reductions for bus transport to Southampton General Hospital and to agree key discussion areas and attendance at the evidence gathering meeting on 28th February 2013. (Copy of the report circulated with the agenda and appended to the signed minutes)
Simon Bell, Public Transport and Operations Manager was present and with the consent of the Chair addressed the meeting.
It was proposed in the budget for 2013/14 that bus subsidies would be withdrawn. The Panel questioned what would happen to bus services should this happen. It was reported that bus companies would look at the commercial viability of the service and that it would not be possible to predict what they would do. It was recognised that there was some overlap between commercial and subsidised services. Concern was expressed by the Panel because the impact of the subsidy withdrawal was unknown and therefore it would be difficult to give a reasoned analysis.
RESOLVED i) that the Panel noted the update on progress with the review into public and sustainable transport provision to Southampton General Hospital;
ii) that the Panel noted the impact of proposed subsidy reductions for bus transport to the General Hospital; and
iii) that the Chair write to the Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport requesting funding following the review, for areas the Panel deemed necessary , for example cycle / pedestrian access to the hospital. |
