Background
Community Transport services are provided to residents who are unable to access conventional public transport by Cheshire West and Chester Council, to help them remain independent and access essential services.
The Council commissions (or buys-in) these services and our current contracts are due to end in March 2021. Therefore there is an opportunity to review what works well about the community transport service, and what changes may enhance services, before putting in place new contracts.
We are considering a number of proposals to ensure community transport services meet people’s needs now and in the future, in way that is both fair and equitable across the Borough, and is affordable for the Council to run.
These include:
- Increasing the number of residents using the service
- Reviewing routes in operation
- Contributing to tackling the climate emergency
- Reviewing fares charged for the service
We would like to hear your views on these proposals, to help inform decisions about the future development of the community transport service.
