Angry parents have warned that proposals to cut the number of school buses will put children in danger and lead to more cars on the road around schools.
More than 1000 pupils will lose their entitlement to a free bus pass if changes go ahead as planned in August as Falkirk Council bids to save around £1 million a year by slashing its subsidy for school transport.
But parents say it is not being made clear enough that hundreds more pupils will be affected as the changes mean that 33 school buses could be axed altogether.
