Minutes:
The Committee considered the correspondence received and
agreed, due to the fact that local support and policies for public transport
services in Blaenau Gwent are a matter for the local authority and would be
better taken forward through scrutiny by its own members and committees, to
close the petition and thank the petitioner.
In doing so, Members agreed to provide the petitioner’s further questions to Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council and request that the Council engages directly with the Ebbw Fawr Business Community on the matters raised.
