"But why should I pay this when there is room on the bus," said Mr. Murch, a 48-year-old outside manager for a building firm.

Murch says the two school buses that travel through Checkendon are never full. The Education department spokesman said that In some exceptional cases, where a child lives In an isolated spot within the limit they are sometimes picked up. With regard to Checkendon there are a number of children in the village, and I don't think we would accommodate them all in the bus." In 19115 the Secretary of Mate for Education sent a letter to local authorities asking them to review transport arrangements and use their discretion for expanding their services in the Interests of children's safety. This letter was discussed by the Oxfordshire authority who decided they would apply it for children under II years old only.
