I don’t believe in blocking the road as a climate protest, I do believe that if you live less than 2 miles away from State school you should be offered a free bus pass. WAKE UP politicians, how many car journeys are un necessarily made for the school run, hundreds if not thousands per day. If you live over 2 miles away you get a bus pass, if it’s less than 2 miles you have to walk or take some other form of transport?
Some parents have to make an onward journey to a place of work, I understand that. A lot don’t, come on I don’t want to bake to death before my time is due. If the scientists are right we need to reduce our car journeys, and one way would be to help the kids get to school without having to take the tractor out.
Please note I am not a green party candidate I just think there are things we could be doing better. PS my children have just got cars, I am a complete hypocrite. And soon June will pass and I will be moaning about the cold again!!!
