Our plans for some of the buses in Hertfordshire Please tell us what you think. Please tell us by 8 October 2014 1
Who are we? We are Hertfordshire County Council. What is this plan about? This plan is about some of the buses in Hertfordshire. We give money to help run some buses in Hertfordshire. Without this money the buses may not run. We help the buses run every day of the week. 2
This costs a lot of money. The money comes from the tax money that people pay when they work. We have less money to spend. This means we need to save more money and spend our money in the best way. But we also need to give people in Hertfordshire the travel support they need. We have made some plans to help with this. 3
Our plans We want to change the times and days of the buses we pay some money for. There is a list of the buses that would change starting on page 5.
