The new Bus Back Better bus strategy for England was launched in March 2021. The strategy outlines opportunities for Local Transport Authorities and Bus Operators to access £3bn of new funding towards improved bus services, as well as continuing to access COVID-19 recovery funding. The first requirement for access to this new funding opportunity is achieved through the County Council committing to establishing statutory Enhanced Partnerships with the bus operators by the end of June 2021.
