  • Nottinghamshire County Council (24 022 563)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries School transport 10-Jun-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision to remove free transport for new starters at a school which Mrs X’s child attends. However, Mrs X’s child already receives free transport and will continue to receive it until they finish the education phase, move house or move schools. Mrs X says paying for transport for her second child will be a financial burden. However they are not due to start the school for another three years. Therefore we do not consider Mrs X has suffered sufficient injustice currently to warrant an investigation.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Noise 10-Jun-2025

There is not enough evidence of fault in the Council’s investigation and decision-making processes to warrant us investigating.
