Stop Falkirk Council’s Proposal to remove home to school transport for children

Petition Details

Please stop our local council from trying to save money in a way that leaves children at risk.

*Head of Education Services at Falkirk Council (Robert Naylor) has stated that it is the responsibility of parents to ensure that their children arrive at school safely.

Additional Information

However many parents work and this is simply not practical.

*Children will have to cross very dangerous roads which have no crossing patrol or automated pedestrian crossings.

*During winter months children will walk home in the dark.

*Proposed bus pass costs are too high

*Children in Scotland are entitled to free bus travel but they won’t put additional service busses on for school hours.

Please help the people of Falkirk halt this proposal.
