How is it right we have free bus passes for the elderly to get to bingo but not children and 16-18 year olds to get to school? Councils across the country cutting school bus provision expecting parents to foot the bill at £1,000s per child per year. #austerity #education

.@LDpennyo: "If the Conservatives were serious about 'learning lessons', they would be acknowledging that the policy itself is not fit for purpose. It's time for the council to actually listen, rather than ignoring concerns like they did during the original consultation."
.@LDpennyo "It's such a shame that this initial review will only focus on the implementation of the policy, rather than the obvious flaws in the policy itself. It just feels like the real issues are being pushed further into the long-grass." tinyurl.com/y3nevw86
Will Suffolk school transport review result in changes to the policy? eadt.co.uk/news/suffolk-s…
If the Tories want to minimise the impact of their cuts on schools and families, and avoid this from happening each and every summer, then they need to do more than paper over the cracks and look to fundamentally change the policy.

Encouraging to hear there will be a review of the disastrous #SchoolTransport policy @CllrMaryEvans @HicksCllr please can you outline 1)this covers the policy as well as the process and 2)how you will ensure the experiences of parents are properly heard and taken into account?
Would @StaffordshireCC like to assess the walking route on #schoolrun today? You'll need a raft today!. No child should risk death for an education on #walktoschool @Pedestr_Safety @Road_Safety_GB @RNLI @ExpressandStar @HarrietEvans_ES @GMB @ITVCentral
We're not leaving the EU on the 31st but we do have the chance to have the biggest say in School Transport in a generation. Fill it in! Cup of tea and a hob nob and it's done!

I very much welcome this review of school transport policy from SCC. I have focused on supporting parents with appeals, but flaws remain in the overall policy e.g. treatment of siblings. I will be writing to Mark Hardingham ASAP to set out my concerns.
School transport review confirmed as public apology issued for problems eadt.co.uk/suffolk-county…
Absolutely! Please don't go on about choice either and look at the guidance about breaking established links between schools as well as keeping siblings together and dont be so punitive against parents and their children. I know the policy will be reviewed now but it was so cruel
Please advise @SuffolkCC @HicksCllr. Parents are currently applying for secondary schools for next year. If as is usual the catchment school is their 1st choice pls ensure those in #SplitVillages are not forced to choose schools until the outcome of the #SchoolTransport review
So @jackabbott90 caught the school bus as a boy in rural Suffolk. Wonder how many of the Conservative councillors responsible for the #SchoolTransport policy actually did the same? Representation matters

Whilst @Staffordshirecc maybe trying to encourage reducing air pollution on the walk to school, this is what our kids would face. Too dangerous to walk @ITVCentral. Appeal to ombudsman submitted @FreeSchoolBus @WickendenGraham @EssexSTC youtu.be/AAw-UbEeYhs

Walk to school during rush hour
🚌✂️ After a summer of chaos, we are proposing three common sense changes to a deeply flawed policy. All three issues were brought up repeatedly during consultation but fell on deaf ears. The Conservatives have the chance to make amends by backing the proposals today.
The home-to-school transport consultation may have ended this week but the fight for the right outcome for #Suffolk continues. Take a look back at the incredible coverage that this campaign has received so far, generating a number of headlines and front pages 👇
📻🚌✂️ Good to hear @750sumo on @BBCSuffolk talk about the common sense proposals we have put forward to help ease some of the worst effects of school bus cuts in #Suffolk. Let's hope Tory Cllrs are listening to parents like him. Listen from 1:17:28 👇 bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07…

With news and all sorts of music for your journey home.
But the apology for a poor implementation of the school transport policy doesn’t go far enough. The apology needs to be given for implementing a POOR policy in the first place!
SCC school travel policy has been a disaster for families, causing anxiety and disruption to schooling for many children. It's a backward step for sustainable transport too, school buses keep cars off the road and reduce families needing to make multiple journeys.
We fully support this call for changes to @suffolkcc's terrible new school transport policy. The implementation of this policy has been an unmitigated disaster, and the impact on rural families has been appalling. eadt.co.uk/news/suffolk-c…
Shame that @essex_cc are leaving thousands of parents with little choice other than to transport their children to school by car then! bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-eng…
