Public Transport consultation letter

The Council’s financial strategy for 2019/20 includes a budget reduction of £405,000 in public transport and £50,000 for Shrewsbury Park & Ride.

To achieve these reductions a number of initiatives will have to be implemented and the attached consultation asks for views about these proposed changes.

We very much look forward to hearing from you or parents regarding this consultation & would encourage responses to be sent to the following E-mail address by 6 May 2019:

The children have had a couple of very exciting Fridays. First on 8th March when they took part in a sponsored new-age inter-house kurlathon! The children demonstrated fantastic sportsmanship and had a fun-packed day! We hope you have seen some of the photos in the local press. Then on Friday 15th March British junior canoe slalom champion Kurts Adams visited school. He held a whole school assembly where he told children that he started canoeing at the age of 10 and the dedication it takes to be an athlete. His talks were inspirational with a stand out quotation ‘Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard!’ The children then got some hands on training in the Kurts’ canoe and learned how to use an oar in smaller class sessions. Pupils also worked very hard in getting sponsors for the kurlathon, with what looks to be approximately £1,500.00 raised! The money is split between Inspired Through Sports, who arrange for the athletes to come into schools, the printing of sponsor forms and some fabulous prizes etc. and school. On top of the fundraising we also get to order new sports equipment if 50% of the school have taken part.
