The public consultation did not evidence any significant opposition to the proposed service initiatives, except for concern with respect to three individual services summarised in paragraphs 8.2 to 8.3 below
|
|
In respect of two of the services, 123 and 12L, it was clear from the consultation that concern was mostly due to respondents not having the opportunity to review the proposed alternative timetable, which would have addressed the majority of concerns expressed. To ensure that these concerns are addressed, the timetables have been reviewed again and in the case of X1, revised, to ensure the level of service is maintained.
|
|
In respect of the third service, 541/2/4, the concerns raised in respect of the diminution in service cannot be mitigated and further development of this initiative is required. It is proposed to remove this initiative from this package at this stage and to bring forward proposals at a future date.
|
|
The remaining package of service initiatives as outlined in paragraph 2.3 of the report should be implemented.
