Council chiefs discuss bus services after GHA failure

Council leaders say a "positive" meeting took place yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon between the three North East Wales local authorities of Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham and Welsh Government to respond to the failure of GHA Coaches Ltd. 

In a statement the group said it was are committed to working together to ensure services are maintained as far as possible with a particular priority given to statutory school transport to be in place for September.

Ken Skates AM, Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure, said that Welsh Government is committed to examining possible funding solutions in the interim. 

The group discussed options for a collaboration for transport to look at the wider strategic issues. 

While the replacement service will not be exactly the same, it is anticipated that a reasonable level of service will be provided within the available resources, added the statement.
