Reasons for Decision

Wokingham Borough Council was unsuccessful in achieving any BSIP grant funding in May 2022 for the October 2021 submission. Therefore, the BSIP has been revised to take account of feedback from the DfT and changes in the local bus market since October 2021. The key changes to the draft BSIP are:

- Strengthening the role of partnership working

- Revised targets and policies
