Community Transport for the elderly and disabled under threat from Conservative cuts

There has been a partial success on the PlusBus Community Transport service. Although the Liberal Democrat amendment to MK Council’s budget to save the PlusBus service in its current form was voted down by Conservative and Labour Councillors, your pressure helped force them to  add £200,000 to the budget to fund the transition of the service. So, although ultimately the service will be reduced current users will be protected by transitional arrangements for some time.

The Council will be devising plans for the new service, and any restrictions on its use, over the summer – so watch this space!
