  • Bus Service Improvement Plan (Bsip) 2021-2026
    <DRAFT> BUS SERVICE IMPROVEMENT PLAN (BSIP) 2021-2026 SECTION 1 – OVERVIEW 1.1 Context and BSIP extent 1.1.1 This Bus Service Improvement Plan covers the whole of the Medway Council area, for which there will be a single Enhanced Partnership. Fig 1- Location of Medway 1.1.2 It is not intended to cover services which are excluded from the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme, even where these may be registered as local bus services in the Medway area. 1.1.3 We are working collaboratively with our colleagues at Kent County Council, who are producing a BSIP for their own area. However, our plans remain separate for a number of reasons: 1. Only a handful of routes offer inter-urban cross-boundary travel. 2. Although the Medway/Kent boundary cuts through the Lordswood and Walderslade areas, with one exception, services crossing this boundary in the contiguous urban area are effectively short extensions of Medway-focussed routes. 3. Medway is primarily an urban area with a small rural hinterland; Kent is a large rural county with a plethora of widely dispersed urban settlements. 4. Medway's socio-economic make up is considerably different to that of Kent as a whole. It is a lower wage economy, while more than 35% of jobs are in lower skilled categories, compared to under 30% in Kent, and even fewer in the wider south east (source: ONS annual population survey via nomisweb.co.uk). Indices of Multiple Deprivation are much poorer in Medway than in Kent (see appendix 1). 5. As a unitary authority, Medway Council has certain powers that are not available to Kent County Council.
