Council slammed for failing children

Kent County Council left 100’s of children with special needs with no transport to school after a botched "redesign" of transport arrangements.

A review for the County Council's Scrutiny Committee found:

• The actions harmed children
• It was driven to make £2m cuts
• There was no consideration of the risks to children.

Liberal Democrat Schools Campaigner Tim Prater said:

"This report makes grim reading. It says Conservative run Kent County Council harmed vulnerable children.

"They made a £2m cut without considering the impact.

"Shameful.

“The Councillors responsible should resign."
