Reinstate the TW8 bus to Tunbridge Wells so rural children can get to school
Assess how the government funding for school transport is being used and liaise with Kent County Council to ensure that children from rural communities are able to access public transport to school.
At the moment, as a direct result of the changes, there are significantly more people having to drive increasing both traffic and air pollution.
The bus routes that have remained in place are now overcrowded and dangerous and cannot always be accessed meshing children (who have paid a significant amount of money for a pass) stranded.
