Petition Fund bus passes for ALL 16-18 yr olds attending 6th form or college
Parents in rural areas are having to find £600 or more p/a for bus passes to send their child to college. The government require children to stay in education until they are 18 so they should have a fair system for ALL to be able to travel there, without incurring costs to do so.
More details
Bus fair costs quoted for children in local villages feeding to Strode college in Street, Somerset. This college is the local feeder college for many of the schools in the area but does not do many of the courses children require.
