Parents meet to oppose hike in school bus lares
Valley MP tells parents he has raised matter with Minister b v J u l i e M a g e e

jpress.co.uk Twitter@clithadvertiser
A petition calling for the abolition of‘'unfair" bus faresto local children's near- estcatholicschoolispart .. ofa four-pronged strategy developed by Ribble Valley
parents. Around 50 parents met at St Michael and St John’s Social Centre last Wednesday night to discuss ways to challenge Lancashire County Council’s decision to charge parents for their children’s transport to St Augustine’s RC High School, Billington. Ribble Valley MP Nigel
Evans spoke at the meeting, telling parents they could add his efforts to their strategy.'. He has already asked the
Leader of the House of Com mons, Mr Andrew Lansley MP. for a debate on the issue . and has emailed other MPs to find out if parents are facing a similar problem in their con stituencies. Mr Evans said he would
also be making direct repre sentations to Schools Min ister David Laws, who is in. the process.of bringing out a consultation paper and a new policy regarding school transport. Mr Evans said he believed
parents should not be charged for their children’s transport to school when the distance of that school was a reasonable distance from their home. He added that he wanted to see local authorities given discre tion to choose who was enti tled to subsidised transport removed. “I’ve always believed that
access to education should be free,” Mr Evans said. He added that both par
ents of children who attend ed faith schools and selective schools like Clitheroe Royal Grammar School were “in thesameboat”iftheir chosen school was not their nearest school. Mr Michael Wright,
headteacher o f St Augus tine’s, told the meeting that throughout the majority of the school’s 50-year history, Ribble Valley children had
been entitled to free trans port to the catholic second ary school. However, in 2011 parents
were asked to make a con tribution of £380 per year towards the cost of travel, despite. 98.5% o f parents objecting to the charge when consulted. There was a further con
sultation in20i3onproposals to increase the charges for pu pils attending faith schools. And again, despite more
than 1,000 responses with more than three-quarters ob
jecting to the increased fees, the charges were now set to increase from £380 to £475 for families from September 2014, representing a 25% in crease. In future years, this figure would increase by in flation plus 5%. The rules mean that i f
a pupil’s nearest catholic school lies further away than the nearest non-catholic school, parents have to pay for a bus pass. An e-petitionhas been set
up by Clitheroe mum Rachel Stanworth (40), who has a daughter at St Augustine’s
and a son at Clitheroe’s only catholic primary school St
• Michael and St John’s. Rachel, alongside fellow
parent Faith Venguedasa- lon (41), whose two sons will
• both attend St Augustine’s this September, approached parish priest Monsignor John Corcoran to ask what the church was doing about the issue and the meeting was subsequently arranged. Investigations to find out
whether litigation can be tak en against the county council on the grounds that it is dis criminating against catholic pupils by forcing them to pay for their school transport are also being carried out as part of the parents’ strategy. And a working group to
develop a co-ordinated ap proach with representatives from the other parishes in the' school’s catchment area was formed during the meeting. Coun. Ian Brown, a Con
servative councillor for Salt- hill ward, also offered his support at the meeting. To sign the e-petition visit
