OK, councils will have to let by example and not cut buses for them to be replaced by cars. If one council cuts 5 buses and the 435 children who had been using them are taken to school by 157 cars CO2 emissions will increase by 235%.

A half-mile exclusion zone e should do it

Unfortunately as StaffordshireCC has taken away subsidised school transport our kids either have to be driven to school or risk death on the walk to school.

That's clever. Not.

In UK solution for All problems are A) increase or introduce tax B) put a ban Elsewhere, they would have thought of something like how to create a drop zone in school front/back for quick pick and drop.

Stupid Teachers, why not ban students from schools as well?

Yeah, of course... (What?)

Yeah! Make them park 2 streets away! That'll show them polluters!!!

Bet the righteous teachers will still use their cars

No, idiots.

How about banning religious conservatives outside of UK schools to tackle bigotry?

Make the school buses electric!
