Cost to the Tax Payer for the Covid Bus - Find a freedom of information request

Request

For the last few months, you have chartered a gas guzzling bus driving around the county. Also, you have a van meeting with the bus, surely the bus and driver standing there all day is not necessary. The cost involved and damage to the environment must be high. Surely the van could carry a gazebo and a table etc. I see it as a terrible waste of taxpayers’ money. Also, no record is kept of who the kits are issued too. I await your reply.

My enquiry was the cost to the taxpayer for the covid bus etc.

Decision

The Covid testing bus was paid for by the Lincolnshire Covid Outbreak Management Fund which was funded from Central Government.
