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 and consultation
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.
We're now running a consultation on our proposal. It is open to:
- parents and carers
- staff and governors of Langwathby C of E Primary School
- anyone else with an interest, or stake in, home to school transport arrangements serving the school
Read our consultation document for further details about the proposal (PDF , 298KB).
The document also includes:
- background information
- our rationale for making the proposal
- a timetable for the consultation
- a copy of the consultation questionnaire
The consultation runs until 28 October 2025
