Non-executive decision to award £2,075 of s106 funding to Three Rivers Partnership to provide a contribution towards the operation of a community bus scheme for Gillingham. The proposed service would operate weekly and provide a means of access to town centre facilities for the elderly and those with impaired mobility.
