It is good to be able to report recent statistics which show Oxfordshire is the shire county with the highest rate of bus use per head in England.

Janet Tomlinson, Director of Children's Services, and Cllr Michael Waine, Cabinet Member for Schools Improvement, claim that "Whatever happens, there will always be a school place for every child who needs one". But in North Oxford there is a four-year old who has been offered a place at a City school more than two miles away - but no free transport (the child is too young) and no direct bus service for her car-less parent to take her to school.
