Free school transport for Falkirk pupils could be halved in bid to save money

The number of pupils eligible for free school transport could be cut by more than 1000, in a bid by Falkirk Council to save money.

The cash-strapped local authority is asking permission to look at increasing the distance at which children are eligible for free transport to school.

At the moment, free transport is provided for pupils up to eight years old who live more than one mile from school and to all pupils aged eight years and over who live more than two miles from school, via a safe walking route.
