The purpose of this post is to inform members of the discussions with Senior Management to review the usage and running of the shuttle bus from Lytham to Peel Park. This ongoing review with the employer was agreed as part of the negotiations surrounding the DWP Lytham Moorland Road Site closure.
The first review meeting took place on Wednesday 16th July 2008. The meeting discussed the number of people on site and the usage of the bus and the running times (we asked for a tweak in the running times in order that the 15:00 from Peel could be changed to 15:05 to accommodate the members in the CSA who use the bus and have a FWH core time of 3 Pm, and the employer agreed to look at this). We are pleased to say that the bus is going to continue to run and the next review is in December 2008.
We also enquired about the potential of additional (or an additional) pick up points for the service. We had discussed this previously and the employer indicated that there had not been any recent demand raised for this and it was not something that they were looking at.
The potential of additional services in terms of extending existing bus routes was raised and the employer agreed to take this forward with the relevant people.
The meeting also addressed the issue of access from the bus stop at Peel Park to the site for staff in wheelchairs and also other points in the Equal Opportunities arena including excess fares.
The meeting concluded on the topic of compensation payments under Work Force Planning Bulletin 117 and some technical theoretical questions including the impact of “casual” lifts (which was considered to be not an issue). If you want any details on this then please contact the Branch Office.
