There's a review underway of the @suffolkcc school transport policy. here's what we think so far suffolkschoolbus.org/blog/future.php
Suffolk parents - please fill in our survey and share. We will submit the results to the school transport review. Deadline 30th November suffolkschoolbus.typeform.com/to/DLH9b4
.@LDpennyo "It's such a shame that this initial review will only focus on the implementation of the policy, rather than the obvious flaws in the policy itself. It just feels like the real issues are being pushed further into the long-grass." tinyurl.com/y3nevw86
Will Suffolk school transport review result in changes to the policy? eadt.co.uk/news/suffolk-s…
If the Tories want to minimise the impact of their cuts on schools and families, and avoid this from happening each and every summer, then they need to do more than paper over the cracks and look to fundamentally change the policy.

Encouraging to hear there will be a review of the disastrous #SchoolTransport policy @CllrMaryEvans @HicksCllr please can you outline 1)this covers the policy as well as the process and 2)how you will ensure the experiences of parents are properly heard and taken into account?
Would @StaffordshireCC like to assess the walking route on #schoolrun today? You'll need a raft today!. No child should risk death for an education on #walktoschool @Pedestr_Safety @Road_Safety_GB @RNLI @ExpressandStar @HarrietEvans_ES @GMB @ITVCentral
We're not leaving the EU on the 31st but we do have the chance to have the biggest say in School Transport in a generation. Fill it in! Cup of tea and a hob nob and it's done!

I very much welcome this review of school transport policy from SCC. I have focused on supporting parents with appeals, but flaws remain in the overall policy e.g. treatment of siblings. I will be writing to Mark Hardingham ASAP to set out my concerns.

@BusSuffolk @suffolkcc @HicksCllr Absolutely! Please don't go on about choice either and look at the guidance about breaking established links between schools as well as keeping siblings together and dont be so punitive against parents and their children. I know the policy will be reviewed now but it was so cruel
Please advise @suffolkcc @HicksCllr. Parents are currently applying for secondary schools for next year. If as is usual the catchment school is their 1st choice pls ensure those in #SplitVillages are not forced to choose schools until the outcome of the #SchoolTransport review
So @jackabbott90 caught the school bus as a boy in rural Suffolk. Wonder how many of the Conservative councillors responsible for the #SchoolTransport policy actually did the same? Representation matters

Whilst @StaffordshireCC maybe trying to encourage reducing air pollution on the walk to school, this is what our kids would face. Too dangerous to walk @ITVCentral. Appeal to ombudsman submitted @FreeSchoolBus @WickendenGraham @EssexSTC youtu.be/AAw-UbEeYhs
🚌✂️ After a summer of chaos, we are proposing three common sense changes to a deeply flawed policy. All three issues were brought up repeatedly during consultation but fell on deaf ears. The Conservatives have the chance to make amends by backing the proposals today.

📻🚌✂️ Good to hear @750sumo on @BBCSuffolk talk about the common sense proposals we have put forward to help ease some of the worst effects of school bus cuts in #Suffolk. Let's hope Tory Cllrs are listening to parents like him. Listen from 1:17:28 👇 bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07…
But the apology for a poor implementation of the school transport policy doesn’t go far enough. The apology needs to be given for implementing a POOR policy in the first place!

SCC school travel policy has been a disaster for families, causing anxiety and disruption to schooling for many children. It's a backward step for sustainable transport too, school buses keep cars off the road and reduce families needing to make multiple journeys.

Shame that @Essex_CC are leaving thousands of parents with little choice other than to transport their children to school by car then! bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-eng…

@750sumo @FionaLouMac You were excellent Tristan. Got your point across clearly and personally. Glad you won your appeal. In Essex we've proven the changes haven't saved money, and have doubled cost per pupil. Congestion and pollution much worse ad an estimated 7200 extra journeys a day.
@BusSuffolk @FionaLouMac @suffolkcc Yeah but no but yeah but no but they totally said that wasn't the case and it was all sorted alriiiight!! And anyways according to my mum's boyfriends sisters cat sitter .......

@jackabbott90 Cllr Jones doesn't seem able to give his divisive policy & it's shambolic implementation a score out of 10. Well we have no such problem @suffolkcc @HicksCllr it's a large 0
@jackabbott90 @BBCLookEast What a fiasco this whole experience has been. Gordon Jones needs to accept that he got this wrong and resign, once again it’s the children who suffer. I wonder how he would have felt if this had happened to his own family... 🤔
Three changes that should be made immediately: 1. Exemptions for siblings 2. A spare seat guarantee for 5 years 3. End split villages These changes won't save this broken policy, but it will make life a little easier for families on the receiving end of these cuts.
