The BSIP was taken to Cabinet on 26th October
2021 with the following approvals granted:
1) Approve the Council’s draft Bus Service Improvement Plan
(BSIP).
2) Authorises the Strategic Director for Places, in consultation
with the Portfolio Holder for Communities, Environment and Climate
Change to approve any amendments to the BSIP, along with any
alterations required in LTP4 to reflect the changes associated with
the BSIP.
Due to the tight timescales associated with the preparation of the
BSIP, it has been necessary to make amendments to the document
since it was published alongside the Cabinet report.
Approval of these amendments is now being sought, to enable the
BSIP to be uploaded to the RCC website and submitted to the DfT for
consideration.
Future Government funding for bus services will be dependent on
whether a local authority has published a BSIP. The deadline for
publishing the BSIP is 31st October 2021.

The Chairman of the Council has been consulted in accordance with Procedure Rule 208 of the Council’s Constitution, and has agreed with the Portfolio Holder’s opinion that the Call-in procedure will not apply to this decision on the grounds of urgency. As any delay caused by the call in process would prejudice the Council’s interests due to the need to produce a BSIP by 31 October 2021, which is within the Call-in period.
