The public consultation on the revised home to school/college transport policy will end on 30th September. This is proving to be a very controversial policy and it remains to be seen whether it will be approved by the council’s board.

I have held a number of meetings with other councillors and also recently attended a meeting at Builth Wells High School where we discussed the possible implications of the revised policy.

 I have been a part of a small group of councillors who have been lobbying against this revised policy for some time. As a result of our joint effort the policy has now been called in for pre-scrutiny by the People Scrutiny Committee.

I would now ask again for any Powys residents to look at the revised policy and respond to the consultation beofre the closing date of 30th September. It could affect many pupils across the county and it is important that we gather as much information and consultation responses as possible to use as evidence for the scrutiny of this policy.
