Editorial: There is a new minister and an original approach, but lack of funds and focus risk turning good intentions into a distraction

How can we look to combat the national deficit of SEN/D Transport?

How can we look to combat the national deficit of SEN/D Transport?

School transport is an integral part of every child’s education. It can set the tone for not only the child’s journey but their day at school and ultimately, their ability to learn.

A recently retireed Director from a failed county council exclaimed “you do know the most senior person left is an assistant director” - yes because those implicit in its demise bugged off quick with their pensions - does plausible deniability work in the U.K.?

"It's like a social club on wheels!" #CommunityTransport isn't just about getting from A to B. It's about getting out and about, meeting and making friends, and enjoying life. A lot more people are celebrating #InternationalFriendshipDay because of the work of our members!

Great news, but how does it fit #withoutct to get door to door when @transportgovuk are likely to impose strict rules on community transport. @CTAUK1 @APPGCT @LilianGreenwood @healy_richard @CTpermits xitter.gq/transportforall/status…

And anyone trying to start a CT now the bar will be set too high, whilst bus cuts occur daily no solution will be found xitter.gq/healy_richard/status/1…

Replying to @APPGCT @transportgovuk
Unfortunately the reassurance that it would be premature to end contracts with CT's comes too late for @EnfieldCT & others. @transportgovuk should acknowledge that the damage was done when Stephen Fidler's letter of 31-07-17 went unchallenged month after month @CTAUK1 #WithoutCT

Today we're at a parliamentary reception hosted by @TheGBHighSt awards to promote the important role #CommunityTransport plays in enabling people to access their communities and their local high street. #MyHighStreet

This has very deep rooted consequences harking back to the 2003 report whereby simple measures to combat social isolation have been ignored , and yet we seem hell bent on further cuts impacting on health and wellbeing and U.K. plc coffers ! #ShortSightedTransportStrategy xitter.gq/healy_richard/status/1…

CT's help combat loneliness, so hopefully @transportgovuk has already been engaged about this funding initiative, & the effects that the proposed implementation of EU Reg 1071/2009 will have? #WithoutCT @LilianGreenwood @CommonsTrans @Jesse_Norman @CTAUK1 @tracey_crouch @APPGCT xitter.gq/healy_richard/status/1…
