Proposed Sale Of Rossendale Transport

EDM number 1454 in 2008-09, proposed by Janet Anderson on 07/05/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Buses.

That this House recognises that Rossendale Transport is one of the most successful bus companies in the country; acknowledges that it is one of the few local authority-owned bus companies that makes a profit and thus contributes funding to Rossendale Borough Council; notes that Councillor Anne Cheetham, Conservative chair of Rossendale Transport, is on the record in the March edition of Bus and Coach News as saying `we are not exploring any option to sell Rossendale Transport because it is very important to Rossendale'; further notes that Rossendale Transport is much loved by the people of the Rossendale Valley for its good service delivery; and calls on the Minister for Local Government and Rossendale Borough Council to reject any proposals to sell it off.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
