The East Midlands Mayor says Nottingham already has a 'fantastic' bus service in Nottingham City Transport
A new £40 million fund to boost buses across the East Midlands will be targeted at rural areas in "great need" of better services rather than cities. Claire Ward, the East Midlands Mayor, says there is "always more" that can be done to enhance buses in Nottingham and Derby - but that it is the rural parts of the counties in greatest need of better buses.
The government is investing £955 million overall in bus services across the country, with the money designed to enhance popular routes, protect rural services and increase bus use for shopping, socialising and commuting. Labour says its investment will prevent service reductions on at-risk routes and improve reliability across the country.
"We need to focus on some of those and I'll be working with bus companies to think about the enhanced partnerships that we can deliver for better buses. I think there is a great need in the rural communities, whether it be in Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire. NCT has been a private company since the 1980s, although Nottingham City Council remains the operator's majority shareholder. During the East Midlands Mayor election campaign, Claire Ward said she would not want to bring all Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire buses under public control.
