It appears that the funding will shift from District to County
councils
in 2011. That will smooth things out a bit but still needs a grant
formula which relates more closely to actual expenditure.
It's not going to help somewhere like Peterborough[1], which would
presumably have the same problem as Cambridge does now.
[1] Which as we all know is a unitary County.
How short of its concessionary fares spend is the grant it receives?
Not
over £1 million as in Cambridge, I bet.
Since most journeys are return, the outward journey will be charged to
a district outside Cambridge and an equal amount for the return leg
charged to Cambridge.
Same for Peterborough I would have thought.
