From 1 February 2024 to 4 April 2024, we asked people what they thought about the school transport we choose to give to some learners.
In 2023, Conwy County Borough Council helped 3,900 learners get to school every day on free school transport:
- 48% we have to provide
- 52% we choose to help
In the last year, school transport costs have gone from £5.8 million to £6.5 million. That’s £700,000 extra because of rising fuel prices, more learners needing support and other costs.
