2)        Notes the potential financial contribution that may be required from

Warwickshire County Council (following necessary consideration of a further detailed business case) towards the costs of charging infrastructure and bus priority measures at an estimated cost of between £5-10m. Opportunities to secure funding from external partners will also be explored.
