Love Your Bus Grant Fund Information Hub

Welcome to the central resource for the Love Your Bus grant scheme. This page provides all the essential information, guidance, and tools to support Parish and Town Councils in Essex in applying for funding to enhance existing local bus services.

Application for Love Your Bus 2 grant funding is now closed

What happens now?

Now that the application window has closed, we will begin the assessment and scoring process for all submissions. Each application will be reviewed against the published criteria to ensure a fair and consistent evaluation.

How decisions will be communicated

Once scoring is complete and funding decisions have been made:

• Successful applicants and supporting County Councillors (CC Members) listed in those applications will will be notified first.

• Unsuccessful applicants and supporting County Councillors (CC Members) listed in those applications will be also notified and given the opportunity to request further information about why their application was not successful.

Publication of results

After all applicants and their supporting CC Members have been informed, we will notify remaining Members and publish the overall results. These will be available on the Travel Essex website, and shared with all relevant internal and external partners. 

Love your bus Information Hub will be updated regularly
