Cathy Olsen started this petition to Greg Bremner (Head of Education Services)
In East Dunbartonshire children are only eligible for free transport to their catchment school if they live more than 3 miles away. This could be a one hour walk each way for some children through the rain, hail, hot sun etc.
Other nearby councils have different rules:
- Stirling, Renfrewshire, West Dunbartonshire council gives free school transport over 2 miles.
- Glasgow City Council supplies free transport over 2.2 miles from their local catchment secondary school.
If East Dunbartonshire is serious about Climate Change and improving parking and traffic around our local area, then they should give free transport to any young people who live more than 2 miles from their catchment school.
