A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end the worries of man, parents fearful for their children’s safety on the roads.
    Until now the local government has only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.
    The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. Now the government has agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster.
    Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out,  but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than ￡20 a term.
    They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost, because there is already an agreement with the bus com puny to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would tike to take part in the new plan.
