Answer
As a result of the additional monies I have secured in the final budget, town services will remain in existence for 2015/16. The bus network will be retained. Nevertheless there will still be the need for Translink to make efficiencies in administration, overhead costs and to review the frequency of some services.
Translink will be consulting locally on the detail of this.
