Warrington Borough Transport
Warrington Borough Transport operates under the brand "Warrington's Own Buses". It runs bus services within Warrington and to Altrincham, Northwich, Newton-le-Willows and Earlestown.


Warrington Borough Council considers it wholly owns Warrington Borough Transport, [1,2] which if true would make it subject to FOI via Section 6 of the Freedom of Information Act.


Warrington Borough Council owns 887,999 of the 888,000 shares in Warrington Borough Transport.[3] The remaining share appears to be owned by an individual. The individual's 1/888,000 holding may make the company not subject to FOI, as a company needs to be wholly owned by the public sector to be subject to the act. It may be there are contractual arrangements relating to the individual shareholding which mean in effect the council does wholly own the company. This authority isn’t subject to FOI, due to minority non-public sector owner(s) or member(s)
