ITV Anglia report on school transport

There is sometimes some debate about the quality of local media and the resources that they have to cover important local stories. I think this is an important issue and wish the local media had more time and resource to provide good quality news coverage.

However this is not to say there isn’t any of this around. I was pleased when ITV Anglia picked up on the school transport story as is it an important issue for Suffolk parents.

The report and film produced by ITV Anglia’s Elodie Harper does an excellent job of explaining clearly and fairly the issues around school transport - including a helpful contribution from Portfolio Holder Graham Newman explaining the financial dilemma the County Council  faces.

If you have not read and watched the report you can see it on the ITV Anglia Website:
