This will impact 370 pupils schooled in Maryhill (nearly 1 in 6 of those affected in the city). In the last council term 3 schools in Maryhill were closed. St Gregory's, St Agnes' and Wyndford Primaries. Promises were made at the time to parents regarding free school transport for their children. This policy reneges on that promise.

Young children will now have to walk up to 2 miles in the wind, rain and snow. They'll have to navigate one of the busiest roads in Glasgow, skirting floods, heavy vehicles and speeding cars. If mums and dads can afford the privilege of using the expensive bus service (if there actually is one), it will cost already under pressure parents up to £200,000 per year in Maryhill alone.

That's money already being used, in one of the most socially deprived wards in Scotland, to buy snacks, school dinners and evening meals. It's money that pays gas bills, buys school shoes and pays council tax. Shocking !
