A number of parents across Bridgend have been left frustrated after being told their children must make their own way to school. A change in rules means that one year seven pupil must make their own way to school, despite the council already paying for a taxi to pick up his older brother from their family home.
Meanwhile another parent has said their daughter is expected to walk nearly three miles to school because they are inside of the three mile cut-off zone. According to Bridgend Council's Home to School or College Transport Policy, "The Welsh Government has defined the statutory ‘walking distance’ as two miles for primary aged learners and three miles for learners of compulsory school age receiving secondary education."
