Minutes:

The Portfolio Holder for Culture & Leisure, Highways & Transportation and Road Safety elaborated on her report and noted that in September 2019 Rutland County Council had approved the counties fourth Local Transport Plan. An allocation of £701,167 of funding had been allocated from the integrated transport plan and the report sought approval for a number of funding allocations and delegations. It was reported that the cost of outsourcing transport could be £90,000 higher than the cost of using the in house fleet and was not considered as being value for money and the use of the in house service had been expanded to support wider transport operations to ensure best value. Consideration had been given to the purchase of electric and or hybrid minibuses but there were no suitable vehicles on the market but officers would continue to monitor advances in technology and changes in the market.

Councillor Brown the Portfolio Holder for Environment, Planning, Property, and Finance congratulated the work and achievements of Councillor Stephenson specifically with the Highways and Transport Working Group.
