Leicestershire brother misses out on school bus pass by 24 metres

A family has been told their youngest son does not qualify for a free bus pass to get him to secondary school – even though his older brother does.

Alex, 11, and Oscar, 13, live in Woodhouse Eaves, in Leicestershire, and Oscar has his bus travel to school funded by Leicestershire County Council.

However, the boys’ mum Jo has been told she will have to pay £765 for a bus pass for Alex when he joins Oscar at Rawlins Academy in Quorn, three miles away (4.8km), next term.

She said a new change in the way the council calculated the distance from their home to the school meant Alex had missed out on a free pass by 24 metres (78ft).
