Parents who are concerned about the very high school transport costs being imposed by Buckinghamshire County Council are being asked to sign a petition.

The county is currently levying a charge (on average) of between £800 to over £900 per child, per year which is amongst the highest in the country. We feel this is an unfairly arrived at policy decision and are taking steps to get the charging reviewed.
Please sign the petition and forward it to others who have an interest in this issue. We need to protect the right our children have to access their educational establishments, without parents having to decide whether they can afford the transport costs or not. As it will be soon be compulsory to stay on in further education, we also need to ensure that the process is established whereby the students who are at the centre of this law are not penalised by finances.
