Liz Mills, Director – Education and Lifelong Learning

1. One question was received from Cllr Catherine Baart. A Member asked for a clarification on whether the expectation for schools to fund transport to hubs was met and what happened when it was not met. The Director explained that the expectation was that schools would support the transport; if that was not the case, the Council would have a conversation with the school in the first instance. The transport would not be delayed.

Cllr Fiona White arrived at 10:07am.
