The root of the problem appears to be that Cumbria County Council can no longer subsidise bus services while, strictly speaking, the Town Council is not responsible for public transport and should not give money directly to businesses. However, councillors expressed a willingness to find a way to support this service. The main proposal was that a ‘Friends of the X70’, similar to the ‘Friends of the X112’, should be formed, since such a group might be able to open a door to different grants. Several Councillors volunteered to help with this, and the Council agreed to withdraw the original proposition that the X70 should not be given a subsidy, on the understanding that the X70 would continue to operate for the time being.
