Local bus services and the Bus Network Grant
The Committee supported Arriva putting forward changes to the X4 service to reduce the in-year shortfall on the Bus Network Grant, and supported ending Service 5 at Deeside Industrial Park. It noted that any delays would be budget pressures for 2025/26, and that changes need 56 days' notice to the Traffic Commission (78 days for services into England). Councillor Mike Peers asked that the minutes record that he did not support the proposal to end Service 5.

Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
