Minutes:
Councillor Chris Bond (Cabinet Member for Environment) introduced the report of the Director of Finance, Resources and Customer Services (No.160) seeking approval to the Concessionary Travel policy.
NOTED that the policy was a formalisation of current practice and did not amend or change any processes/practices that the Council did not already have in place. Members requested that the full Policy Statement, appended to the report, be placed in the Members’ Library and Group Offices for reference only when the report was considered by full Council.
Alternative Options Considered: Not to implement the policy.
RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL to approve the Concessionary Travel policy and to implement the policy with immediate effect.
Reason: The policy would give the concessionary travel service a robust and consistent approach in delivering the service, and would give customers a clear and concise overview of how this was done in line with Department for Transport reforms and guidance.
