Basildon, & Districts Questionnaire for County Council Local Bus Network Review Consultation August 2016 Background In 2015 Essex County Council (ECC) began a thorough review of its financial support for those local bus services that it pays for across the County. This consultation is the start of the second part of the review and looks at 70 services across Essex where the current contract ends in 2017. We have grouped together services by geographical area of the County so it is easy to see whether your service is part of the review.

Most bus services in Essex are run by commercial operators. The County Council’s role is to decide, where the commercial operators do not provide a service, whether one is needed and if it determines that one is, then to provide it. To help make this decision ECC looks at many factors including what alternatives are available, how many people use them and whether they offer value for money. The Council will not normally continue to support a service where it pays the operator £5.00 or more per passenger carried after all revenue (from fares of all types including the concessionary bus pass scheme) has been taken into account. This is the Cost Per Passenger Journey (CPPJ).

A number of the services in this review were last tendered in 2009/10 and the prices agreed then are therefore relatively low compared to prices today. In addition ECC has not increased many of its fares since 2009. As a result a number of bus services in this review are currently close to or exceeding the £5.00 CPPJ upper support limit and are very likely to exceed it after tender.

Given this position, the County Council is looking at a range of options to reduce the cost of providing the services, while maintaining key transport links. This could mean reduced frequencies or reduced hours or days of operation or changes to routes. ECC also needs to manage the network in light of changes to the commercial bus network, travel demand and changing corporate priorities over time.

This document seeks to explain in more detail the proposed timetable changes to the , Castle Point and Rochford Network of bus services. We will collate 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.
