The next Scrutiny Committee I am going to is on the One Council project. This is the main savings project of the Council, and has been running out of new projects.
Therefore I am happy that Brent Passenger Services is among the services being looked at. Currently, Brent runs about 100 buses transporting adults and children with special needs around the Borough and beyond. There is a case that this locks people into a way of doing things determined by the Council rather than by themselves. However, users in this sector tend to be highly resistant to change, so any changes need to be sensitive to that.
Hopefully, the new project will find ways to help people in a gradual manner.

The important thing is that whoever does the transporting, no child is on special school transport for more than an hour to or from school - being on a bus is not an educational experience of any value. Simply compressing routes without rgeard ot this is not good enough. However regular reviews of routes is necessary as intelligent routeing can make for more effective routes.
