Lib Dems have persuaded the Tory controlled County Council to undertake a massive u-turn and defer a flagship budget cut to Home to School Transport. Under the proposals students faced massive changes to transport entitlements and some faced fees of over £400 per year. If entitlement changes were agreed this would have restricted transport to nearest available school even if that school was over the County boundary.
This is what we have submitted to the Cabinet for today's (8th May) meeting on the issue of Chnages to Home to School Transport.
Hinckley Liberal Democrat Councillors David Bill and Michael Mullaney have welcomed a letter they have received from the Home Office indicating that more measures will be taken to tackle the problem of metal theft.
