Decision:

That:

 

1)        the tender process be commenced in accordance with the Business Case; and

 

2)        it be noted that any further financial implications arising from the tender process will be brought back to Executive for consideration.

Minutes:

The Executive considered a report relating to the Thames Valley Park, Park and Ride Bus Service.

 

Whilst introducing the report the Executive Member for Highways and Transport clarified why there was a need to tender the Park and Ride bus service.   When the bus service had achieved planning permission, and as stated in the Heads of Terms document, the plan was to give half of the income from the car park to Thames Valley Park themselves in recognition of them diverting their shuttle bus to serve the car park.  Unfortunately Thames Valley Park were now reluctant to divert their shuttle bus without a significantly higher financial contribution from the Council.  It was noted that if there were any financial implications arising from the tender process then these would be brought back to the Executive.

 

RESOLVED that:

 

1)        the tender process be commenced in accordance with the Business Case; and

 

2)        it be noted that any further financial implications arising from the tender process will be brought back to Executive for consideration.
