The Eden Locality Board or Westmorland and Furness Council is looking to fund to additional bus services across the area and is currently looking at supporting a 5 day additional service for the 106 route, the realisation of this opportunity will depend on supplier availability. Thanks were extended to Chris Battersby for his work as Treasure and to the wider committee for their consistent service attending meetings. Jonathan explained to us all about the Liberal Democrats Leaflet re improving the service and suggested that we all write to the council explaining our concerns. **Treasurer’s Report** – a copy of the balance sheet was circulated to the meeting (copied below). Parish Council payments for 2024 totalled £3000 as they continue their support for the bus. The two main changes over last year have been the Charity box on the bus £684.04 continues to increase and the Christmas Fayre at Shap £112 which was low due to weather and a poor turnout. ## **The 106 Partnership** Charity Number: 1176484 Treasurer - Chris Battersby - Aysgarth, Eamont Bridge, CA10 2BH Tel: 01768 866670 Email: chrisb8491@outlook.com ## **The 106 Partnership** Communities in support of our local buses **Service Usage –** The passenger numbers have continued to maintain high levels similar to last year with some months running at a profit ||**INCOME**|**INCOME**|**EXPENDITURE**|**EXPENDITURE**||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||**2024**|2023||**2024**||2023| ||**£**|**£**||**£**||| |BALANCE BFW|**27,070.41**|**18,607.71**|CLASSIC COACHES|**2,042.45**|£|3,807.04| ||**£**|**£**|||**£**|| |PARISH COUNCILS|**3,000.00**|**4,000.00**|ADVERTISING||**5,002.00**|| |||**£**|||**£**|| |PENRITH TOWN COUNCIL||**1,500.00**|MISC||**54.33**|| ||**£**|£||**£**||| |ONE LOTTERY|**542.00**|154.00|SHAP HALL RENT|**40.00**||| ||**£**|**£**||**£**||| |FRIENDS OF 106|**330.00**|**185.00**|BALANCE CFWD|**29,656.00**|**27.070.41**|| |CBSSG GRANT||||||| ||**£**|**£**||||| |CHRISTMAS FAYRE|**112.00**|**287.00**||||| |||**£**||||| |EXTERNAL GRANTS||**10,915.00**||||| |||**£**||||| |AMAZON SMILE||**53.61**||||| ||**£**|**£**||||| |CHARITY BOX|**684.04**|**231.46**||||| ||**£**|**£**||**£**|**£**|| |TOTAL|**31,738.45**|**35,933.78**||**31,738.45**|**35,933.78**|| ## **Election of Officers** - Chairman – Jonathan Davies nominates Adrian Todd, this was seconded by Alan Sowerby, the meeting unanimously voted in favour of the nomination, so Adrian Todd was elected Chair of the 106 Bus Partnership for another year. - Treasurer – Adrian Todd nominated Chris Battersby, this was seconded by Alan Sowerby, the meeting unanimously voted in favour of the ## **The 106 Partnership** Charity Number: 1176484 Treasurer - Chris Battersby - Aysgarth, Eamont Bridge, CA10 2BH Tel: 01768 866670 Email: chrisb8491@outlook.com ## **The 106 Partnership** Communities in support of our local buses nomination, so Chris Battersby was elected as 106 Bus Partnership Treasurer for another year. - Secretary – Alan Sowerby nominated Libby Bateman, this was seconded by Jonathan Davies, the meeting unanimously voted in favour of the nomination, so Libby Bateman was elected as 106 Bus Partnership Secretary for the ensuing year. **Bus Timetable** The timetable was changed as per last years decisions and everyone appears to be happy with the result. **Saturday Service** - The Fellrunner bus service appears not to be successful and is due to cease running the service shortly. **10[th] Anniversary Celebrations** – There will be two celebrations one in Penrith and one in Kendal and the committee will meet in January 25 to make final decisions as to how they will run and a timetable for the celebrations which will be advertised to the bus users.
