Decision details

RESOLVED

KEY DECISION

That the Executive;

a)    Approved an increase in fares in the Corby zone based upon the aligned fare tariff detailed in the public notice within Appendix A

Reason for Recommendation: The trade previously made representation that an increase in fares is required to ensure that the increased costs of running the service are covered. Since there were no objections received for the East, Kettering or Wellingborough zone, three aligned Table of Fares have been introduced in these areas. Full alignment of fares across all four zones is considered to be important, so that all residents within North Northamptonshire will be subject to the same maximum fare, regardless of where they reside or work.

Alternative Options Considered: The below options were considered for the Corby zone on 27^th September 2022 and can be reconsidered;

i)    To recommend the approval of the Corby Hackney Owners Association (CHOA) proposed increase in fare tariff

ii)   To recommend a different increase in fares

iii) Refuse any increase
