School transport
School transport
We will maintain the right of children to free school transport when they live more than two miles from their designated primary school and three miles from their secondary school – a right which is being taken away by the Labour Government. For those who live nearer school, there still need to be safe alternatives to the car; we will promote ‘Safe Routes to School’, with calmed traffic, safe pavements, good lighting and adults on hand to conduct ‘walking buses’.
