Ash: Talks with Translink to secure safer journeys for school children

Local Castlederg SDLP representative Marie Ash met with Translink representative last week to discuss issues raised by concerned parents.

Ash: “This successful meeting has ensured that from 10th November steps will be made to address the issues of students standing on school buses. Translink will talk with their drivers to ensure this does not happen.”

Highlighting the recent accident involving a school bus in Co. Tyrone, the representative backed the need for regulatory seatbelts. “While Translink will ensure that all buses are equipped with seatbelts, the difficulty in enforcing their use means that parents will need to remind their children of the importance of wearing a seatbelt.”

Marie & the local SDLP team would ask any local residents who may have any issues to contact the local office 02871882828 or email Marie directly at marieash69@gmail.com, we would be more than happy to help.
