I WOULD like to add to the current plans by Oxfordshire County Council for the school buses.

Having had numerous problems with buses not turning up, breaking down and my children being made to walk the rest of the way to school when it has broken down, I have to say that I find the whole situation unacceptable.

We all pay for this service and will continue long after our children have left education as long as we pay our council tax.

This is not a free service.

As I currently pay for the service as my children are at sixth form, which may I add I have no problem with, I do resent paying for this when the coach fails to turn up. I sent an invoice to the council for my time and having to take my children to school but was told that it would not be paid.

I would expect if I did not complete my job then I would not be paid.
