I genuinely don't understand the total reluctance to sort this out. It's obvious to everyone what needs to change. Even Tory councillors are saying so openly.
The obstinance from those in charge is staggering.
🚌 'Parents report school transport errors just hours after 2020 applications open'
💬 @jackabbott90, @suffolklabour education spokes.: "It's really concerning that, on day one of this year's school transport applications, things are already going wrong. eadt.co.uk/news/suffolk-scho…
The reason we are asking for #3Changes to the #SchoolTransportPolicy@suffolkcc @CllrMaryEvans @HicksCllr is not because we are unreasonable or radical. It's because they would make the policy work for parents, schools & villages AND be easier to implement.
Oh no. New Opt-in for transport from September started today. Parents already experiencing problems. And we will continue to until some basic changes are made to the policy. #NotLearningLessons@suffolkcc
For those complaining about the BBC #LicenceFee just remember that it isn't just about TV stations. It helps fund quality journalism and has an important role to play in holding your government to account
Welcome @CllrMaryEvans statement:"I am committed to ensuring that the system for applying for school transport is much more effective and efficient for pupils, parents and schools in 2020 and future years." Policy changes would achieve this #ScrutinyCtteeeadt.co.uk/news/suffolk-scho…
You have until Monday 27th to share your views.
We're concerned about the withdrawal of No 84 buses outside of school runs, especially the direct link to the Health Centre.
Please have your say! @NHSWSCCG @jc4southsuffolk
Well what a surprise. @Chambers announce withdrawal of 84 public bus to Stoke by Nayland because the changes to #SchoolTransportPolicy no longer make it viable. Why are @Suffolkcc so determined to punish people for just using a bus??
Suffolk parents - please fill in our survey and share. We will submit the results to the school transport review. Deadline 30th November suffolkschoolbus.typeform.co…
Got to question how much extra it costs @SuffolkCC to administer and manage this number of appeals - let alone the emotional cost to families @CllrMaryEvans eadt.co.uk/news/suffolk-coun…
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
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
