Questions asked included cuts to the 19 service on Dale Hall, which was cut due to lack of public funding however buses on the Whitton/Castle Hill area now operate every 7/8 minutes and from 7th October will be operated by the three new Mercedes Benz Citarios and two Double Deckers so more elderly people should be able to use these services, services which currently occupy the stands closest to the shopping centre in Tower Ramparts will have seats fitted once work on the shopping centre is completed. Chris Speed answered questions on the poor connection of services on the 64 which don't link to the trains at Saxmundham, whilst service 66 was mentioned in regard to staff in the travel shop not knowing what was the correct timetable whilst a question on service 76 to Felixstowe in regard to no longer having a bus going down Nacton Road, was answered that its something that may happen in the future if people demand it.
