7.
To consider Member’s motion: "The Council notes that First Group Buses serving Todmorden are currently conveying advertising
for Craig Whittaker MP (on the rear of vehicles, conveying the strap-line "Craig Whittaker MP serving the people of the Calder Valley"). The Council also notes that First Group Buses in West
Yorkshire receive generous subsidy funding and other support from the West Yorkshire Combined
Authority, and that they operate an effective monopoly service in West Yorkshire. Given the above,
the Council believes that First Group Bus services should be non-political in nature and should not
endorse one political party or election candidate over others. The Council also believes that given the
wording of the advert and the up-coming General Election, a publically funded service is being used
to endorse one political party and election candidate over others and that this may be illegal.
The Council therefore resolves to write to West Yorkshire Combined Authority to clarify the legality
of a publically funded bus service being used to endorse one political party and election candidate
over others, and that they contact First Group Buses immediately to seek the removal of the adverts,
reminding them that they need to be acting in a non-political way."
