A Balquhidder family have called on the council to reinstate a vital taxi service which allows their daughter to attend school in Stirling.
Thirteen year old Michaela Lee was set to begin S2 at St Modan’s in the city as schools returned on Wednesday but has been left “devastated” after an 11th hour message from council officials confirmed that she would be forced to rely on a series of lifts and buses to get to school.
Parents Maura and Mike say that the cancellation of the taxi journey - which the family have been making use of for the 30 mile journey since their older son transferred to the school in spring 2019 - means that Michaela now faces a mammoth 12 hour school day.
