The Council has confirmed that the recent Home to School Transport Consultation is being extended for three weeks. The Council recognises the significance of the proposal for pupils who use and will use home to school transport now or in the future, and the extended consultation provides a further opportunity for those potentially impacted to take part in the consultation.
There will be further in-person drop in events where officers will be on hand to answer any questions on the proposal and encourage people to take part in in the online survey:
This extension is an addition to the previous six-week consultation which ran from November 27, 2023, to January 8, 2024, and provided three in-person opportunities.
The extension will see the consultation reopen on Thursday, 18 January, and will remain open until Thursday, 8 February. If you have previously taken part in the consultation, you do not need to do this again. You can take part in the online consultation here: Consultation on the Council’s Home to School Transport Policy
The Home to School Transport proposal is being considered due to the significant financial pressures faced by the Council with a confirmed £36m budget gap for the next financial year.
