Recommendation 31
31
Home-to-school transport affordability remains a concern for local government services
Conclusion
Home-to-school transport is a particular area of concern for the affordability of local government services. We support the Government’s proposed update to the assessment of local authority’s needs relating to home-to-school transport, but while this more fairly distributes money between local authorities, it does not make the service as a whole more affordable. Reforms to the service itself will also be necessary. (Conclusion, Paragraph 114)
