  • Matthew Gregory Chief Executive Firstgroup Plc 395
    Matthew Gregory House of Commons, Chief Executive London, FirstGroup plc SW1A0AA 395 King Street Aberdeen AB24 5RP 15 October 2019 Dear Mr Gregory As West Yorkshire MPs, we are writing as FirstGroup are intending to sell First Bus and to request that the West Yorkshire division of the company is sold as a separate entity. This sale represents a singular opportunity to transform bus operations in our area and we believe it is in the best interests of both FirstGroup and our constituents for First Bus West Yorkshire to be taken into ownership by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA). To this end, we believe that WYCA should have the first option to purchase this division. In West Yorkshire, the bus as a mode of travel is particularly relied upon by many of our constituents to get to work, appointments and to partake in leisure activities. We have a long-shared aim of increasing the usage of buses locally as a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to the private car. We believe that interest is best served by allowing for passengers to have a stake in their own service through the local combined authority. There is wide spread public support for this model as a viable direction for the service and your facilitation of this process through the segmentation of the sale can only reflect well on FirstGroup. We, as representatives of the people of West Yorkshire request a meeting about the future of First Bus West Yorkshire and consideration of its sale to West Yorkshire Combined Authority. Yours sincerely, Alex Sobel MP Tracey Brabin MP Imran Hussain MP Judith Cummins MP Naz Shah MP Thelma Walker MP Paula Sherriff MP Holly Lynch MP Jon Trickett MP Barry Sheerman MP John Grogan MP Hilary Benn MP Richard Burgon MP Fabian Hamilton MP Rachel Reeves MP Yvette Cooper MP Mary Creagh MP Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • 1 Council 16 October 2018 Member Question Time
    I COUNCIL 16 OCTOBER 2018 MEMBER QUESTION TIME Questions submitted in accordance with Standing Order 12 _____________________________________________________________ 1. Councillor Abid Hussain Can the Portfolio Holder give an update on the Council’s plans to increase footfall on Darley Street and other streets around the middle and top of town areas in the city centre? Answer The city centre has seen a huge boost in footfall with the numbers counted in just three core retail streets rising from 16 million to over 20 million a year since the Broadway Shopping Centre opened. Broadway Shopping Centre has opened new modern retail space bringing in retailers who have been absent for many years. Our work on regenerating our town and city centres is never done. We are therefore now working towards additional new developments to boost the success of the city. The Council’s plans for the new markets offer focussed on Darley Street will see significant investment in this area. Once these developments commence, it is expected that investor confidence will be reflected in the take-up of vacant units. Locating a new food focused market on Darley Street will see a huge upsurge in footfall in the area and surrounding streets. In the meantime the Council continues to offer assistance through the City Centre Growth scheme’s Priority Streets Initiative. This is a targeted scheme to incentivise businesses to bring back in to use vacant ground floor units in key retail streets with high volumes of vacant properties. The package of support available includes capital grants towards property improvements and equipment purchases along with business rate rebates.
