Do you have children aged 3-19 attending school or college in RCT, or perhaps you are a learner yourself? If so, you will want to know about the recent proposal by RCT council to make cuts to school transport.
In order to make financial savings RCT council want to change who receives free transport to schools. So if their preferred plans get through the consultation this is what will happen:
Primary school aged children who live less than two miles away from the school of your choice (whether it is a Welsh medium School, English medium school or faith school) will have to make their own way to school and will not be eligible for free school transport.
There will be no way to buy a bus pass either to travel on the bus they go on now. Shamefully those who will miss out most in the primary sector are children in Welsh Medium schools and faith schools
Check the links below if your child attends one of these schools. The area in blue on the map will no longer get free transport:
Secondary school aged children who live less than three miles away from the school of your choice (whether it is a Welsh medium school, English medium school or faith school) will have to make their own way to school and will not be eligible for free school transport.
