Petition

Allow secondary schools to have atleast 5 school buses to make transport easier

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

We want them to make transport for students easy as TFL buses get way too packed and cause delays to go to school and return to home
Allow there to be parking for parents who want to pick up and drop their children, maybe they can have a pass which allows them to do so,saying the school name
I want this to happen so that there are less children who are late and get detentions because the buses are too packed in the morning, and also so that there's less of a hassle to get to home and can make parents worry

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Decisions about public transport in London are a matter for Transport for London, not the UK Government or Parliament. We also can’t accept petitions that call for action at a local level.

You could ask your MP to take action on your concerns about this issue. You can find contact details for your local MP here: https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP

You could also raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

The Government has statutory guidance for local authorities regarding home-to-school travel, which you can find here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/home-to-school-travel-and-transport-guidance
