Criticism over plans to axe door-to-door services for disabled school children Disabled children could be expected to walk a mile alone to be taken to school as part of a new Northamptonshire County Council (NCC) idea.
The 'initiative' will mean children with special educational needs and disability (SEND) - who currently get picked up by a minibus or taxi from their homes - might instead have to walk one mile to be picked up from a bus stop instead.
The county council has called the scheme, it is set to introduce to parents and children on November 4, 'Pick Up and Set Down Points'. Northampton Chronicle and Echo
