http://www.passenger.chat/24850When we met last month, Lee and Graham introduced "Bus Back Better" and our understanding thereof. This month we'll update you on work that's been going on over the last three weeks - some significant progress, but at the same time the purdah in the lead up to local elections has limited what we can do.
1. For NEWCOMERS, we'll start with a brief summary of what "Bus Back Better is all about
2. We'll take a look at progress and what's been happening over the last few weeks
3. Then we need to look ahead and plan; BBB is the best opportunity in 30 years - and funded too - to make changes that make a service suitable for our changed future as we move towards a zero carbon world. And it can be done by using the carrot and not the stick.
We will look to establish a skeleton structure for co-ordinated working as positive partners to our Local Transport Authority and bus operators
And we will be looking for ambassadors across various Community Areas in Wiltshire to help oil the wheels of passenger inputs in their towns and the surrounding countryside
All welcome ... there's going to be different outcomes in different areas, but also so much we can share with (and learn from) friends in Somerset and elsewhere.
