1. The Committee had no adverse reaction to the outsourcing of the current fleet.
2. The possibility of providing vouchers for taxis in rural areas be investigated.
3. The possibility of sharing costs with Cheshire West and Chester be investigated.
4. Transport systems need to be integrated with other cross boundary towns including Cheshire West and Chester.
5. Further use should be made of community transport schemes such as dial a ride and village rider.
