3. ITEM FOR CONSIDERATION

PASSENGER TRANSPORT REVIEW AND RETENDERING -

HAVANT

On 10 October the Executive Member for Environment took a decision on changes to bus services in the Havant area, as follows:

(i) That approval be given to accept a tender based on the configuration of services

set out in Option 4 of the Havant passenger transport review in light of the

recently received tenders, which would result in the following service changes:

      · Bus service 22 would no longer run

      · Divert bus service 27 via New Lane and West Leigh combine with

      bus service 611

      · Bus service 30/31: withdraw last round trip on Sunday evenings

      · Bus service 39: slightly reduce weekday evening service, withdraw Sunday evening service

      · Bus service X40/41: supported journeys would no longer run

      · Replace bus service 42 with extended Lovedean car share

      · Combine Hayling Island school bus services 629/634.

(ii) That as the recently received tenders cost £50,000 more than the estimate for

Option 4 the following adjustment be authorised to contain expenditure within

the available budget:

the frequency of service 27, which links Emsworth, Havant and

Rowland's Castle, is reduced.

A copy of the decision sheet and report are attached.

That decision has now been "called in" for review by four Members of the Committee, Councillors Keith House, A. S. Carew, Sam Payne and David Simpson because the decision did not take account of potential funding from S106 agreements to maintain or replace Service 22.

The Committee is requested to review the decision taken by the Executive Member and consider what advice they should offer.

The provisions relating to call in are set out on page 87, paragraph 1.16 of the Constitution.
