Continued financial support
Oxfordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Transport Implementation, Councillor Rodney Rose said, “I am pleased that we have been able to continue to financially support so many bus services that are vital lifelines to the communities that they serve. Whilst some levels of service have been adjusted to meet low levels of demand there are also many good examples of services being improved following requests from residents.”
“All bus passengers in the Bicester, Kidlington and Woodstock area should check to see if their bus timetable will change from Monday December 14. Affected parish councils will receive updated timetables and we are planning to publish a leaflet showing details of all the revised services.”
