Change local authority decision to cut transport funding for special needs students


Change local authority decision to cut transport funding for special needs students
The Issue
Travel support for 16 to 19 years with special needs to be withdrawn at the end of the academic year 2024. Leicester City Council is scrapping financial support and transport arrangements where a school placement is over 3 miles from the students home. Hundreds of parents received a letter but it was the first they heard of any change. This means again students will suffer and families put into financial deprivation. Once again the most vulnerable in society suffer again. Leicester city council must over turn their decision. If your affected by this please email
