School bus services could be slashed as West Dunbartonshire Council faces “its worst ever financial crisis,” it has been warned.
Last week parents and carers across the area were sent a letter outlining potential money-saving changes, which would see free buses only provided for primary pupils who live more than two miles from their school and to secondary pupils who live more than three miles away.
Parts of Bonhill are over three miles from Our Lady and St Patrick’s High - which works out at around a 45 minute walk - and more than two miles from Vale of Leven Academy. Balloch to the Vale Academy is around 2.3 miles.
