Ok, so it's not even the middle of August yet but already I am working on plans for February 2011. Letters have gone to local bus companies inviting them to tender for the park and ride scheme. Did you know that to just run the buses it costs over £6000 per year? On top of this cost are staff wages, leaflet production, equipment purchase, mobile phone costs and postage charges. Cutcombe Parish Council have now been running the scheme since 2008 and twice the project has made a loss. If bus tickets were priced with a view to making a profit, they would be very high indeed, so we aim to keep them at a reasonable rate and hope that happy visitors make a donation too......
I will be keeping the blog up to date with what is involved in organising the scheme so that when you visit you know it all!
