What the notice says

This workshop forms a critical part of the Bus Franchising Implementation Pathways Review work being chaired by Leon Daniels OBE with consultancy support from Steer. The session, chaired by Leon Daniels OBE, is intended to provide an opportunity for bus operators and community transport providers to input their knowledge and views to the review work, providing information on experience in the local area and its challenges, information on operating in different contracting environments and best practice elsewhere. This will help inform the independent review work undertaken to recommend how the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority franchising scheme proceeds.
