Minutes:

4.1

Louise Blake, the parent of a pupil at Meadowhead School, referred to a petition containing 106 signatures regarding zero-fare travel passes for children from the Bradway area to Meadowhead School which she had presented to the Committee originally in February 2012.  She reiterated the inconsistencies that existed in the current arrangements and asked Members to consider the case for all children in the area to be considered on equal and fair grounds. She commented that she had not as yet received a full response from the Committee with regard to the representation she had made back in February regarding safe routes to school (in particular, Greenhill Parkway), and she wished to know whether any progress had been made on the findings of any such investigation.
