BSIP Survey 2024 – response deadline Monday 18 March 2024 

Derbyshire County Council (DCC) has been working with stakeholders on a bus service improvement plan (BSIP). All Councils are undertaking reviews of their BSIP and the Department of Transport (DfT) has set a deadline of 12 June 2024 for Councils to publish their updated plans. DCC wants to ensure its BSIP reflects the views of Derbyshire residents – both those who regularly use bus services, and those who don’t. Please could you take a couple of minutes to complete the survey via the link, above.
