We are currently meeting on Zoom. If (when) we go back to meeting face-to-face, we will probably still have many of our speakers joining us online and we hope to have the facility for others to also join via the internet.
Anyone is welcome to come along to see what our meetings are like – but we ask people to become members if they want to continue to attend.
We meet on the third Tuesday of each month at 5.30.
Our last meeting
Our last meeting was on Tuesday July 21st. This was a members’ forum where members had a chance to bring local transport issues to operators and Council officers. We also had Matt Daniel, who has taken up the permanent role of Bus Services Manager at the local Combined Authority, attending so Matt was invited to introduce himself to the members.
Everyone is welcome to attend our meetings – just contact one of our committee members. The links are on the contact page.
