A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern
England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads.
Until now the local government have been prepared to provide bus services for children living more
than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided
that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as
the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.
The new plan is to be fired out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not
undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for
a bus service from Milton to Impington School and back, a plan which has the support of the school's
headmaster. Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final
calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be
less than ?20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already
an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The
same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they
would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided
for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.
