If you have not already done so - a plea for people to respond to the consultation. This proposals affect many parents and schools in Oxfordshire. We have managed to get a meeting with David Cameron in July.
Thank you.

Further to my recent message, you may have seen the coverage on BBC television yesterday and radio this morning concerning the proposal to change to provision of school bus transport in Oxfordshire.
Please use this link to respond ?" it takes you directly to the consultation.

I would urge as many people as possible to respond to this consultation. Even if you do not have children directly affected, this proposal has not had any impact studies on local traffic, for example, at the moment 850 students at Burford School come by dedicated school bus. The impact on local roads and the environment has not been assessed, this will affect everyone. Many schools across Oxfordshire are affected.
We can only change these proposals if enough people object.

Could you post a link to the proposal information itself? That would be very helpful as I'd also like to see how it affects other villages/schools.

Urgent! Please read and respond to the OCC proposal ?" even if it does not affect you personally.
OCC acknowledge that this will affect most schools in Oxfordshire and that they say it is a cost saving exercise.
There are a number of proposals but I would draw people's attention…
