Chelmsford City Questionnaire for Essex County Council Local Bus Service Network Review Consultation September 2015 Chelmsford City Questionnaire for Essex County Council Local Bus Service Network Review Consultation September 2015 Background Essex County Council (ECC) is carrying out a thorough review of its financial support for local bus services across the County. The role of the County Council under the Transport Acts is to look at where market failure occurs in the local road passenger transport network, decide whether a service is needed, and if in the council’s opinion, it is, then to provide one. Given increased pressure on Local Government grant funding from Central Government and increased calls on statutory services such as education and adult social care, the County Council needs a way to balance the differing potential transport needs of residents when allocating funding. It also needs to manage the network in the light of changes to the commercial bus network, travel demand and changing corporate priorities over time. This consultation sets out a proposed revised policy for doing this and the proposed revisions to the existing network that will result. The policy is based on responses to previous consultations which asked about people’s priorities. We will collate all the responses from the survey and summarise them as part of our report. We will not identify individual people, and your name will not be mentioned in any reports that we write for this purpose. You do not have to take part if you do not want to - this is a voluntary activity. A supporting document explains in more detail the contract changes, how they will affect our customers and how demand responsive transport works. It also lists timetables where a change has been proposed. This document can be viewed at www.essex.gov.uk/busreview. Reference copies can also be found in libraries or at your local parish, town or district council. Please complete this survey and return to Freepost RTKH-XUBZ-CJZS, Essex County Council, Bus Review (Passenger Transport E1), County Hall, CHELMSFORD, CM1 1QH. You may wish to complete this survey over the telephone, or may require it in an alternative format. If so, please call 08457 430 430 to arrange this. Please complete the survey by Wednesday 21st October 2015. The Proposed New Policy The Council’s proposed new policy approach to managing the supported local bus network is set out in the Local Bus Service Priority Policy 2015 to 2020 and the associated Appendices, which can be found on the Essex County Council website at: www.essex.gov.uk/busreview. A hard copy can be viewed at your local library, district council office or parish council office. In summary existing services have been prioritised according to the priorities expressed by respondents to our three rounds of consultation carried out between 2013 and 2015, and the key corporate outcomes as set out below: Essex County Council key corporate outcomes: • Children in Essex get the best start in life. • People in Essex enjoy good health and wellbeing. • People have aspirations and achieve their ambitions through education, training and lifelong-learning. • People in Essex live in safe communities and are protected from harm. • Sustainable economic growth for Essex communities and businesses. • People in Essex experience a high quality and sustainable environment. The results of the consultations can be viewed at: www.essex.gov.uk/busreview. The Local Bus Service Assessment and Priority Evaluation The proposed new policy sets out the order of priority in which service categories would be provided. This is set out below. Priority 1 indicates the most important service category: Service Category Priority Allocated Other Monday to Saturday daytime bus services linking rural areas to key service centres 1 (Shopping, Health, Employment, Education) Monday to Saturday Peak Services, (Access to Employment, Training or Education). 2 Monday to Saturday services connecting to bus interchanges, railways and airports at peak times 3 (Commuter Services) Infrequent rural ‘lifeline’ services (less than 5 return journeys per week) linking rural areas to 4 key service centres. Non rural services providing access to major health sites (i.e. Hospitals) Evening Services (after 19:00) 5 Sunday Services 6 Access to tourist/leisure destinations and other services 7 Within each category, services would be prioritised in accordance with its cost per passenger journey figure (annual net cost after all income is deducted, divided by number of passenger journeys carried out over a year, with priority given to the lower costing services). Currently provided services have been assessed according to this system and all new service requests will be considered in the same way. Where funding is insufficient to maintain all services categories, or services within categories services would be withdrawn in line with this priority system. The proposed impact of this process is set out at www.essex.gov.uk/busreview or in the booklet accompanying the hard copy of this questionnaire, viewable at your local library, district or parish council office. Please look through these proposals and comment through the consultation questionnaire below. Do you agree with these priority categories? Yes No If you have ticked no please explain why ECC currently funds 39 bus services that serve Chelmsford City. These are shown below together with the proposed changes to each service. For each one, please tell us whether the proposal meets your needs. For the following services there are no proposed changes. Note: These services are not being amended at this time, for one of the following reasons; 1. The route is operated under a contract which will not come to an end until 2017. It will be reviewed in 2016. 2. This service will be tendered for one year and reviewed again in 2016 together with other contracts to be reviewed at this time.

The project was approved in 2013 at an estimated cost of £1.93m and an estimated payback period of 10 years. The final project cost was £1.287m and the current estimated payback period is 13 years. Recommendations Members of the Policy & Strategy Committee are asked to note the report. BACKGROUND In 2013 the Committee approved the funding and installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels across the Authority’s property portfolio. It was identified as an opportunity to deliver significant savings and protection against increasing energy costs. Solar PV panels generate electricity from the sun’s energy; producing electrical energy for use on site and gaining income from the Feed – in Tariff (FIT) scheme for energy generated. The budget for the project was £1.9m. Following the approval of the initial 31 locations, an additional 5 properties were identified as suitable for installations. The Authority gained the benefit of keen market pricing and technological improvements allowing an increased total, 36 photovoltaic

    village bulletin March 2010 Issue 121 www.westbergholt.net West Bergholt in the Snow During January and February of 2010 we ‘suddenly’ found ourselves cloaked in a covering of fairly deep snow but not as deep as in the USA! Congratulations to the postmen and women who continued to get the mail through; the newspaper boys and girls who continued to deliver; the staff who kept the shops open; and the milkmen whose deliveries were still on the step. BT was again on call around the roads. Thanks also must go to anyone who provided vehicle journeys when needed and the drivers who kept the buses going under difficult conditions. It was pleasing to see everyone pulling together to keep their service going and we thank them all. GOOD NEIGHBOURS Dick and I would like to thank our friends and neighbours in Queen’s Road for all the help offered and given during the long spell of bad weather this winter. Although we were unable to venture out on many days we were never left to feel isolated with the phone or doorbell ringing daily. These kind people did shopping, posted letters and cleared snow but most of all provided peace of mind knowing others cared and were looking out for us. Our grateful thanks and bless you all.
