What it asks
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to make provision for every school bus to be installed with three point seatbelts for every school child passenger and to ensure that, as part of a local authority’s consideration of ‘Best Value’ in relation to the provision of school buses, proper regard is given to the safety needs of the children.
What the petitioner did first
I have contacted Helen Eadie MSP, Willie Rennie MP, Councillor Alex Rowley, the Scottish Executive, Fife Council and the headteacher at Townhill Primary School.
I have discussed at length with the above the issue of a double decker public service bus with no seatbelts transporting our primary school children to and from school. However, the responsibility for school transport lies with the local council and from the contact made so far, I am advised that the council is within the law by providing public service buses with no seatbelts and no changes will be made unless the law changes.
