School Transport

Once more, Leicestershire County Council is proposing to remove the subsidy on travel to faith schools. This means parents would have to pay £640 per student per year for school transport. This would impact on the Catholic community more than on any other group. De Lisle College, as the biggest faith school in the county would particularly suffer. Could I ask you to read the consultation leaflet, then fill in the transport consultation survey. Question 5 is the most crucial, and I hope that you might click 'strongly disagree’ for this question. Please hurry. The consultation closes on 30 June.

You may also like to find your councillor and send him or her an email expressing your opposition to this change. Public opinion prevented this change last time. Let's see if we can do it again!
