This petition was submitted by Rachel Griffiths, having collected 194
signatures.
Text of the
Petition
I am setting this
petition up for all children in Wales to receive free school transport to and
from school where they fall within the catchment area.
Additional
Information
To give an example,
due to UK Government cuts to public sector funding and the resultant need for
the council to make substantial savings, Rhondda Cynon Taff council now want to
make charges from September 2016 of £285 per annum per child for transport to
and from school or £95 for those receiving free school meals. Cuts
could be made elsewhere e.g. are plants in the community really needed?
