THE consultation on a controversial proposal to end free school travel for some pupils closes today.
Oxfordshire County Council is consulting on whether to end free transport to parents who choose to send children to a school further than three miles away from home and there is an alternative school closer.
A move to increase concessionary school bus charges to £180.40 per two terms for students who live more than three miles away from their school and do not qualify for free school transport is also proposed. The existing charge is £164 per two terms.
A decision will be made tomorrow.
