As part of their continued commitment to Rutland's enhanced bus partnership scheme and Bus service improvement plan, the Rutland County Council Transport Team will be holding drop-in sessions around the county during the next 4 months.

Through this scheme, they hope to reach existing and potential bus passengers for valuable feedback.  

The first of the drop-in sessions will take place at Uppingham Library on Friday 28 April 2023 between 9.30am and 11.30am.

The aim of these sessions is to offer residents opportunities, closer to home, to feedback on all things relating to public transport in the county.

Rutland County Council's Strategic Director for Places, Penny Sharp Said: "In addition to our bus panel meetings and open bus user forums, it was suggested by bus users that smaller drop-in sessions may be of benefit to them, so we have listened and are taking action. 

"The transport sector has been heavily affected as a result of the covid-19 pandemic and passenger usage has not recovered well. Talking to the residents of Rutland will help us to review our bus network and plan accordingly for any future changes in an inclusive way."
