Make the Redbridge council scrap their changes to disabled transport provision
The London Borough of Redbridge has recently announced that they will introduce a "pilot scheme", without consultation, to force disabled children who need a door to door minibus service between home and school to instead go to a muster point on a main road and wait to be collected by a coach
Children with severe disabilities will no longer be collected from their homes to attend school and instead will have to make their own way to points on main roads where they will be collected and dropped off. These children have various disabilities and have been identified by the council as in need of this service. The Chair of Children Services, said in January that there would be no changes without consultation, yet we have just been told this will now happen in September as a "pilot".
