Anderson raises school transport concerns

Sinn Féin MLA Martina Anderson has called on the ministers for Education and Infrastructure to explore ways to increase the number of buses available for school runs across the north following the reopening of schools.

The Foyle MLA stated: 

“Since schools reopened, concerns have been raised over school transport arrangements.  

“Currently, social distancing would not apply on dedicated school buses, but students should seek to maintain a social distance wherever possible. 

“We have urged the ministers for education and infrastructure to explore ways to increase the number of buses available for school runs across the north. 

“This could allow for social distancing to be better followed on school journeys. 

“As parts of society begin to re-open we must be as vigilant as ever to ensure public health guidelines are followed to the best of our ability.”

After committing to the Occupied Territories Bill during the election the Government have now walked away.

This blatant u-turn is a cynical and monumental act of bad faith.

No more excuses, no more prevarication, enact the Occupied Territories Bill now!

The DUP Education Minister oversaw £710,000 in funding for a state-of-the-art pitch at a school already overflowing with facilities, while many other schools struggle.

This decision smacks of cronyism.

Sinn Féin will continue to hold the Minister to account.
