Bus Money - To Little To LateAndrew Turner, the Island’s MP, has said it is right that the Government is finally to consult on amending the grant formula which funds free national bus travel for pensioners but has damned it as being ‘much too little – far too late’. In a letter to Mr Turner dated 4th November the Transport Minister, Sadiq Khan MP said that the revised grant formula would lead to increases in payments to around 30 local authorities including an additional £890,000 to the Island for the financial year 2010/11. It would be paid for by reducing the grant to London and 63 other authorities.

Reacting to the Government report on urban transport, Campaign for Better Transport calls on the Government to do more to help local authorities to improve transport. Richard Hebditch, the group’s campaigns director, said: “The Government urgently needs to set out a new policy direction on transport in urban areas and we’re very pleased that the Strategy Unit’s urban transport report begins to do that. It shows how important a good transport system is for the health and quality of life of people living in towns and cities. But the Government needs to challenge local authorities more to improve transport and equip local transport authorities with the powers, funding and capability to really make a difference on transport.”
