Purpose: Cabinet approved the Transport Network Review on 12th November 2024 including a proposal to consult on the future of the R4 service which operates from Uppingham via villages in the south of the county to Kings School, Peterborough. Consultation ended on 17th March 2025. No response was received from the school and four responses were received from parents. This service costs £42k a year and carries between 11 and 13 Rutland children each day to this school of choice. The Council has no statutory duty to provide transport for the children using the service and changes are necessary to deliver the MTFS savings of £300k for local bus service provision.
