In the light of public sector funding cuts, Bracknell Forest Council has to reduce its spending. It is reviewing all its activities, including the support it provides to certain bus services.

Council funding is used to support bus services, which supplement those that are provided by bus operators on a commercial basis. However, the council is considering ways of reducing the support it provides to the bus network as part of meeting its planned budget.

The council is reviewing all of the bus services that it supports, and so is keen to understand how, and why, you use the buses in Bracknell Forest and what the implications would be if a service that you use was reduced or withdrawn. This will inform the decision-making process, taking into account your views and opinions.

A number of service changes are being considered to make savings, and so the consultation seeks your views on these, as well as your thoughts and comments on other bus services that the council provide. The bus services are listed below.
