Green Party vote for education cuts AGAIN

category down | environment | news report author Monday July 03, 2006 03:17author by >>>>>> - NIPSA Report this post to the editors

Greens vote to cut public transport use

Green Party Councillor, Brian Wilson, on the Education Board for County Down has voted for the removal of concessionary bus passes for children.

As part of the government attack on education services in Co Down children will have their bus passes removed from the beginning of the new school term in September. The families of these children will face a choice of sending their children to school on foot or using cars (if they have them) to transport them to school.
Two Councillors on the Education Board, Charlie Tosh of the DUP and Brian Wilson of the Green Party, voted for the cuts.

The decision by the Green Party means that they have not only attacked the right of children to education again but they have directly attacked the use of public transport.
