Once the application has been submitted to the Traffic Commissioner the service can be varied or cancelled after 42 days, or less in certain prescribed circumstances if agreed by the Traffic Commissioner.</p><p> </p><p>This system provides local authorities with time to consider the implications of a service variation or cancellation and in particular whether they wish to procure and subsidise a replacement service.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 29/11/2018 14:38:55 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
