We currently provide a passenger assistant on each of the home to school transport routes which serve Langwathby Church of England (C of E) Primary School.
The routes are:
- T1252 serving Gamblesby, Melmerby and Ousby
- T1255 serving Glassonby, Hunsonby, Little Salkeld and Winskill
Our proposal
We're proposing remove the passenger assistants from the Langwathby home to school transport routes. This would begin at the start of the 2026/27 academic year.

Feedback
We invited people to have their say by:

- contacting us by email
- collecting a paper form from the school and returning it by to post (or in person) to us, or the school
- printing the form at the end of the consultation document and sending it by to post (or in person) to us, or the school
