Decision

The grant funding applications for Community Transport, as detailed in Appendix A to the report are approved.

Reasons for the decision

The proposal will allow three community transport schemes to replace older vehicles or extend existing provision which will reduce operating costs and improve the service offered to residents. The recommended approach can be funded from the existing budget for community transport.

Alternative options considered

To do nothing would risk local community transport schemes not being able to continue to provide accessible services to residents and this funding can be met from within existing budgets
