The New Labour controlled Neath Port Talbot Council has arbitarily announced that the school bus service to Dwr Y Felin comprehensive school is to be eliminated from Sept .The council cites a severe budget problem It means that hundreds of pupils will have to walk up to three miles to school [and back home again ] every day.The council has dressed up the decision with a load of baloney about getting children fit but the decision is clearly a cuts one.The is a deplorable act because it will mean hundreds of comp children will face crossing busy roads in all kinds of weather conditions.
The council is known for its attack on its pupils.Several years ago it tried to hand over its schools meals service to a rat catching company but was foiled at the last moment .
The Neath branch of Respect has issued a call for the cutbacks to be opposed!
