Secondary schools' catchment areas should be weighted by travel times

Additional Information

Using straight-line distance as the main measure of whether a child can get in any given school place (after special circumstances are taken into consideration) is no longer sufficient.

It doesn't take into account:

1) The ease of access to any given school (a straight-line nearer one may require a complicated and/or dangerous route)

2) children who are caught on the borders between boundaries

This petition is to ensure that children who fall into these categories are prioritised equally with those that have a straight-line proximity.
