A CONSULTATION on a subsidised bus service has been launched by Wokingham Borough Council.
The 19a/c service, run by Reading Buses, links Woodley and Earley residents with Reading town centre, the Royal Berkshire Hospital and Lower Earley.
The survey, which can be completed via the My Journey Wokingham website, canvasses views on how the funding Wokingham Borough Council provides should be used on the 19a/c service, including maintaining the route, frequency of service or the days the service operates.
Another question asks users: “Given that there is no additional funding to support the bus service, any amendments to the route would require an existing part of the route not to be served or a reduction in frequency. Do you believe the route of service 19a/c should be amended in anyway?”
Cllr John Kaiser, executive member for planning and highways at Wokingham Borough Council, said: “We subsidise the 19a/c service so it’s important we regularly review it. So we urge people to give us their feedback.”
The consultation is open between now and Friday, December 18.
As well as the online survey, paper copies are available at Woodley, Lower Earley and Maiden Erlegh libraries, as well as Woodley or Earley Town Councils, the Earley CResCent Resource Centre or the Mobile Information Centre. They can also be found in the leaflet section of Wokingham Borough Council’s main reception at Shute End.
People can also request a paper copy is sent to them by emailing: [email protected]
