A group of councillors from St Albans City and District Council is to look into traffic issues surrounding the transportation of pupils to school by coach.

The group wants to hear from residents about any issues they have faced with coaches travelling to and from local schools in their area.

The Local Services Scrutiny Committee set up a Schools and Coaches Task and Finish Group to look into this topic following concerns raised by residents and councillors.

Chris White, Chair of the Local Services Scrutiny Committee: “Some residents and councillors are concerned about traffic congestion caused by coaches transporting children to school. The Committee felt that this is a complex topic with many issues to consider. It has set up a sub-group to explore the matter in detail with the aim of coming up with possible solutions.”
