School transport plan to be reconsidered
Local Democracy Reporting Service
A controversial plan which would mean children with special needs or disabilities paying £730 a year for school transport will be discussed in the autumn.
Oxfordshire County Council’s cabinet signed off the policy change at a meeting last month.
But dissatisfied councillors demanded it was reconsidered.
Yesterday, the cabinet decided that it would now go to a cross-party cabinet advisory group in the late autumn, ahead of its potential implementation in September 2019.
More than 2,000 people signed a petition opposing the policy.
Councillors agree to fund £1m repairs of the Cobb at Lyme Regis
The Cobb at Lyme Regis is set to be strengthened and resurfaced with £1m in funding to help protect it from collapse during stormy weather.
West Dorset district councillors agreed the funding on Tuesday, towards a project which could cost more than £2.3m.
The rest of the money will come from a Defra grant.
Councillors heard that preparatory work on the Grade 1 listed structure had revealed ‘significant’ signs of scour which is destabilising the structure.
An officer report stated: "Progressive movement of the structure is ongoing and this is apparent in longitudinal cracking and slab separation in both the low and high walkways as the main wall gradually spreads.
"Cracks and damage to wall facing are also apparent and raise concern over loss of core material and sudden collapse during storm conditions."
The repairs will see a new path on the Cobb wall being resurfaced to make it smoother and barriers installed on the high wall, as well as low level lighting to help prevent people falling into the sea.
