Free school transport in West Dunbartonshire facing cuts as council launch consultation

A public consultation has been launched by West Dunbartonshire Council on the proposal to remove free school transport for hundreds of pupils attending public schools.

The consultation was launched on Thursday, March 9, and will run for a total of 31 days until Tuesday, May 9 with the results being brought before members at a future education committee.

Local authorities across the country may make free travel available to pupils who live beyond the statutory walking distance and are attending a school designated as the nearest appropriate “catchment school”.
