Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Janet Anderson (Labour), on Thursday, 7 May 2009, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 25 members in total.
PROPOSED SALE OF ROSSENDALE TRANSPORT
That this House recognises that Rossendale Transport is one of the most successful bus companies in the country; acknowledges that it is one of the few local authority-owned bus companies that makes a profit and thus contributes funding to Rossendale Borough Council; notes that Councillor Anne Cheetham, Conservative chair of Rossendale Transport, is on the record in the March edition of Bus and Coach News as saying `we are not exploring any option to sell Rossendale Transport because it is very important to Rossendale'; further notes that Rossendale Transport is much loved by the people of the Rossendale Valley for its good service delivery; and calls on the Minister for Local Government and Rossendale Borough Council to reject any proposals to sell it off.
