We're consulting on proposed changes to some Derbyshire community transport services.

We want you to have your say on future plans for the our Dial-a-Bus (DAB) 'shopping' buses and aCtive travel services to healthcare appointments.

We have to save £157m because of cuts in Government grants, inflation and greater demands on areas of the budget for adult social care and vulnerable children.

Last year we had proposed to withdraw all funding from April 2016 - a total of £1.4m - for DAB and aCTive travel services.

But following feedback from a survey carried out last year which identified shopping journeys as the most important to community transport users, we have revised our proposals.

The new proposals are that:

Every community, town or village will get a weekly bookable, door-to-door service to a nearby town centre or supermarket. This may be different to the current service, for example it may run on a different day, at a different time or by a different operator.
The flat-rate return fare of £2 for Gold Card holders could increase to £3.
Our funding for the aCTive travel service is withdrawn. Unless other sources of funding can be found this means the service will stop. Or if the community transport schemes can afford to carry on the service the cost of a journey to passengers may increase.
