I do think there should be something enshrined that if you abandon a commercial operation you are barred from bidding or must meet strict caveats when it comes up to tender.
I imagine the other North East Councils are the same, but using reserves to pay for services on an ongoing basis is extremely bad practice.
I've not followed the meetings for a couple of months, but JTC agreed back in Nov/Dec time that councils would be asked to increase their transport levy. Maybe that has now happened.
