Consultation on School Transport Provision in Merthyr Tydfil
Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council is seeking public opinion on its plans to change the current home to school transport provision for school children across the county.
“The current provision doesn’t align with the school admissions policy, which means Merthyr Tydfil students are travelling to schools outside the County Borough when suitable schools are available within it,” said Cabinet Member for Learning Cllr Lisa Mytton.
A number of options are being considered for the future of the service. Students, parents/carers, schools/colleges, residents and other stakeholders are being asked to share their views on the options under consideration in an extensive consultation exercise including an online questionnaire and a series of drop-in events being held across the county borough in the coming weeks.
The consultation period is running until Monday 4 February, paper copies of the consultation can be obtained from corporate.communications@merthyr.gov.uk
