Lancashire bus services subsidy cuts scrapped
Proposals to cut subsidies to bus services in Lancashire have been scrapped.
Lancashire County Council had planned to save £3.8m over the next two years by withdrawing subsidies which enable evening and Sunday services to operate.
Councillors agreed to help "reorganise" bus services at a cabinet meeting because of the public's objections.
County council leader Jennifer Mein said it showed the council would listen to residents despite budget cuts.
Ms Mein said: "Although we are dealing with an extremely difficult financial situation, the county council will still listen to residents' views.
"And [it shows] that we will think creatively when we're looking for ways to reduce our spending."
Lancashire County Council has to make £300m of savings over four years.
