March 2022 Update

 

We have heard that an award will be made to Somerset County Council.  The indicative amount is £11.9 million, less than 8% of what was requested in the Bus Service Improvement Plan.  We are waiting for confirmation of the amount and how this can be used to improve Bus Services in Somerset.
