Which is your council AAMOI?


Bristol City. Last year it was £735,000 and the figure of £1mill is
an estimate. Read in a newspaper that some councils are expecting a
shortfall of up to £2mill.


At least the same council is responsible for travel concessions and for
bus subsidies. Most of the (relatively) big problems look like they are
going to affect districts in two tier areas that don't have bus planning
responsibilities.


Ouch - I hadn't cottoned on to that dynamic, but I see it now.
