Consultation process
Consultation has been carried out to seek the views of users and other interested parties on proposed changes to the Zig Zag service:
· 107 responses were received to a bus user questionnaire (Appendix 1) that was handed out on the bus and which was available on the Council’s website.
· 13 written responses were received to a letter (Appendix 2) that was distributed by the Area Board managers to affected town and parish councils in their area, local members, and other local contacts. Copies were also sent to a number of groups representing bus users, older people, and those with disabilities, and to local community and voluntary transport schemes. The consultation letter and information sheet was also available on the Council’s website.
The main points raised by the written responses are summarised in Appendix 3, and the responses to the user questionnaire in Appendices 4A and 4B.
