Cutting the services in Ilkley would be 'devastating' for some families, a headteacher says.
West Yorkshire Combined Authority is considering scrapping two school buses due to them not meeting "value for money" criteriaChildren may be forced to move schools if the proposed scrapping of two school bus services goes ahead, a headteacher has said.Amanda Rhodes, headteacher at Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School in Ilkley, said it could mean children looking for "other school provision".
Between them the two routes cost about £113,000 a year to run, with revenue from passengers totalling about £15,000, WYCA said. She said: "We've got children who are really settled here with parents who have no other means of getting them to school, so unfortunately for those children they will have to look at other school provision and that's quite limited in the area."Ms Rhodes said on paper withdrawing the bus services "made financial sense", but to the children who used the service it would have "massive consequences".
