COUNCIL SEEKS PUBLIC OPINION ON TRANSPORT

Argyll and Bute Council is carrying out a survey to seek public opinion about local transport.

The Council wants to know what members of the public think about Council funded bus services and how well these services meet their needs.

The Council’s Roads and Transportation spokesperson, Councillor Duncan MacIntyre, said: “Throughout January 5,000 survey forms are going to be distributed on buses across Argyll and Bute to find out the views of those who regularly use the services.

“These questionnaires will be provided by the driver and people can then either hand them back after completion or, alternatively, they can be returned to the Council using the freepost envelope provided by 31st January 2007.”

The survey will only take a few minutes to complete and is completely anonymous.

The findings will be used to help the Council plan its provision of local transport. These findings will then be published on the Council’s website in due course.

If you have any questions about the survey, contact the Council’s Public Transport helpline on 01546 604360 or e-mail public.transport@argyll-bute.gov.uk
