Until Wednesday 28th September 2016 Essex County Council Bus Service 75 Consultation

04 August 2016 – 28 September 2016: In 2015, Essex County Council (ECC) began a thorough review of its financial support for those local bus services that it pays for across the County. This consultation is the start of the second part of the review and looks at around 70 services across Essex where the current contract ends in 2017.  They have grouped together services by geographical area of the County so it is easy to see whether your service is part of the review.

Please go to the Supported Bus Services page on ECC website to find a link to the online survey. There did seem to be a problem on the ECC website, it seems to be more than just this page so try again if it doesn't work.
