Submission Documents: By Councillor David Turner:- "Council recognises that Glasgow's school children returned to classrooms across the city in August. Many of those children now face extended walks to school, following the Labour administration's decision to extend limits on school transport eligibility. Council notes that, in several parts of Glasgow, safety assessments have been called into question and that ad hoc arrangements have been made. This interim solution is unacceptable to parents, children and teachers. Following extensive public outcry at the decision, Council now resolves to reverse the policy for the benefit of school pupils affected across Glasgow. Council further resolves to work with the Scottish Government to develop guidance on appropriate walking distances for school pupils in both urban and rural contexts." Help Icon
