Moray bus passengers urged to have their say on m.connect service changes
Proposed changes to Moray’s on demand bus service are to take centre stage at a number of community consultations.
Following the agreement of the expansion of m.connect services in Moray as part of the second phase of the Bus Revolution project, a number of drop-in engagement events will take place during February and March.
The Bus Revolution project is part of Moray’s £100 million Growth Deal initiative. The project is funded through £4 million from the Scottish Government and £300,000 from Moray Council.
Bus Revolution aims to improve public transport connectivity across Moray by providing additional public transport services to improve access and use of public transport. The engagement sessions will provide information on what the m.connect service has delivered to date; the changes being made to the m.connect network and why; and what services and provisions are being introduced in 2025.
Chairman of Moray Council’s Economic Development and Infrastructure Services Committee, Councillor Marc Macrae (Fochabers-Lhanbryde, Conservative), said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for Moray locals to find out more about the m.connect service and its phase two plans.
“This is an exciting time for the service and I’d encourage everyone to come along and feedback directly to the team.”
The m.connect team will be visiting the following communities: January 22, Lhanbryde Community Hall, 10am-1pm; January 23, Keith Community Centre, 10am-1pm; January 29, Speyside Community Centre, 10am-1pm; January 31, Archieston Community Centre, 1pm-4pm; February 7, Cullen Community Centre, 10am-12.30pm; Elgin - Moray Council, The Annexe, 10am-1pm; February 12, Dufftown Community Centre, 10am-1pm; February 12, Glenlivet Hall, 2.30pm-5pm; February 18, Buckie Library, 10am-1pm; February 19, Tomintoul Library, 10am-1pm; February 28, Lossiemouth Community Trust, 8A Pitgaveny Street, 10am-1pm; March 5, Forres Community Centre, 10am-1pm; March 12, Keith Community Centre, 10am-1pm; March 26, Speyside Community Centre, 10am-1pm; March 28, Cullen Community Centre, 10am-1pm.
