7 Reports from Town Council Representatives
a) Transport Representative – Cllr Stiles updated Members on her recent travels on some of the subsidised bus services in the area and commented how all passengers she had spoken to had highlighted the importance of these routes as essential to their daily lives. She planned to continue her field research and recommended that the Town Council work with other parish councils when drawing up a response to the Oxfordshire County Council bus consultation.
No response had yet been received from Oxfordshire Rural Community Council regarding further details of the total subsidies per bus route. The Town Clerk agreed to chase up the enquiry. It was also noted that the Clerk had received letters from residents regarding the bus consultation who had subsequently been encouraged to make their thoughts known to Oxfordshire County Council.
