The Leader AGREED that:

a)      a second round of financial assistance is to be made available to commercial bus companies who run school bus coaches independently of the Council. This will be open to all bus companies who have experienced a loss of income from ticket sales on school only commercially run bus routes due to the latest lockdown.

b)     the grant funding scheme will be available to support loss of income in the current lockdown period (e.g. up until the February half term). The estimated total financial cost is £308k.

In a major emergency, the Leader may take any immediate urgent decision required without consultation. The current Covid-19 pandemic qualifies as a major emergency, as it is an event that causes or threatens death or injury and disruption to the community on such a scale that the effects cannot be dealt with by the emergency services, local authorities and other organisations as part of their normal, day to day activities.
