Plans for Falkirk Council to save £1 million a year by changing the entitlement for free travel on school buses could be derailed as Conservative councillors say they won't support it.
If the changes go ahead in August, more than 1000 pupils would lose their entitlement to a free season ticket and up to 33 school buses could be axed, leaving hundreds of pupils without transport, even if they wanted to pay for it.
Falkirk Council has now closed a consultation on the proposals and say they will listen carefully to all of the feedback before putting forward any final proposal to a meeting of the Education, Children and Young People executive at the end of May.
