GM Transport Committee Overview & Scrutiny Committee n/a n/a 1. INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND 1.1 The Bus Services Sub Committee of the Greater Manchester Transport Committee considers all matters relating to the operation and service performance of the bus network in Greater Manchester, including commercially registered and subsidised services; Demand Responsive Services, bus stations and bus stops; passenger information services; contract monitoring; vehicle standards; and passenger safety for the subsidised bus network. 1.2 Acting under delegated authority, the Sub Committee is tasked to review closely and approve all proposed changes to the subsidised bus network and ensure that the cost of the subsidised general services is kept within the appropriate budget or any cash limits. This is achieved through:- rationalisation of existing services whilst maintaining key links on the network; engaging with operators with the objective of them taking on “marginal commercial” services; and continuing to redesign and restructure grouped services to ensure that maximum value is obtained from subsidy. 1.3 In general, withdrawals, reductions or amendments to services are currently only planned at the date of next renewal of the contract concerned and proposed changes will be reported to the Sub Committee. 1.4 In this instance, a number of urgent changes are required which are therefore being reported to the Greater Manchester Transport Committee. 1.5 The governance process that leads up to the reporting of changes involves the scrutiny of all tendered services at TfGM’s Tender Panel that consists of representatives from Legal, Procurement and Finance as well as TfGM’s Operational Service Planning and Network Performance departments. 2. CHANGES TO COMMERCIAL SERVICES (ANNEX A) 2.1 Annex A to this report lists changes to commercial services which, in the view of Transport for Greater Manchester, are not sufficiently significant to require the provision of subsidised service replacements. Brief details of the implications of the changes are provided. 3. CHANGES TO THE COMMERCIAL NETWORK (ANNEX B) 3.1 Annex B to this report lists changes to commercial services and provides brief details of the implications of these changes, which officers believe are of sufficient importance to require action by Transport for Greater Manchester. Details of the proposed actions are also provided. 4. CHANGES TO GENERAL SUBSIDISED SERVICES (ANNEX C) 4.1 Annex C to this report lists proposals for changes to general subsidised services on which the views of Members are requested. Information is given about the reasons for proposing these changes. 5. RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1 Recommendations are set out at the front of this report.

  • Spatial Patterns of Income Deprivation in Greater Manchester
    Spatial Patterns of Income Deprivation in Greater Manchester Which places have been improving and declining? Alex Macdougall and Ruth Lupton About this slide pack Greater Manchester has experienced relatively strong economic growth since 2001 but, as is well known, this has not been evenly distributed. Most analyses of these patterns take the form of maps of neighbourhood ranks on the English Indices of Deprivation (IMD). These report relative changes. In other words, changes in GM are affected by trends elsewhere. They also relate to Lower-layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs), statistical units at the small neighbourhood scale which are not named and do not necessarily correspond to places people can identify. This slide pack reports on absolute changes in identifiable named places , made up of groups or clusters of LSOAs. It tells us which places have actually got better or worse on measures of income deprivation . 2 Outline 1. Analysing change in income deprivation 2. The distribution of income deprivation in England and Greater Manchester 3. Defining ‘severe income deprivation’ (SID) 4. Severely income deprived places: clusters of SID LSOAs 5. The changing pattern for severe income deprivation a) Spatial distribution of SID in GM, 2001 and 2013 b) The changing pattern of deprivation, 2001 to 2013 c) Different trends in different areas of GM 6.
