PARENTS are being urged to have their say as Herefordshire Council consults on possible changes to its school transport policy.

In proposals set out by the Council, families will no longer be entitled to free school transport to JKHS if their nearest school is outside of Herefordshire. Potentially this will affect families living in Pontshill, Lea, Llangarron, Llangrove and Whitchurch areas.

"If the proposed changes go ahead, Herefordshire Council will no longer provide free transport for children to attend JKHS," one parent has told the Gazette. "But they will provide free transport for them to attend Dene Magna School."

Herefordshire Council have been quick to reassure parents that these are just proposals at this stage.
