  • Bollington to Tytherington School Transport (Provided by Councillor Amanda Stott)
    Appendix 1 Background: Bollington to Tytherington School Transport (provided by Councillor Amanda Stott) Bollington’s senior school closed in 1966, at which time Tytherington High school was designated as the senior school for Bollington children. The route between Bollington and the school involves crossing the Silk Road (A523) and a free bus service was provided to transport the children to school. In 2012/13 Cheshire East reviewed this arrangement and proposed that the children use a ‘safe walking route’ along the Middlewood Way. Councillor Michael Jones was the leader of the council at the time and having walked the route totally refuted the suitability of the route as safe for children to walk to school. In 2016 this issue was brought back on to the Cabinet agenda and the proposal was again to remove the free bus service as the Middlewood Way was deemed to be a safe walking route – this decision is affecting 171 children. The Middlewood way is a pedestrian route along a disused railway track. It sits in a steep-sided, heavily-wooded cutting which is isolated from residential roads and has no safe exit for a child who feels threatened. Should an emergency incident occur on the Middlewood Way there are issues which would need to be overcome before the emergency services even begin to deal with an incident; be they police, fire or ambulance. 1. Location of incident 2. Vehicle access to the Middlewood Way 3. Lack of mobile phone coverage Such is the geography of Bollington that should the bus be withdrawn, children who live in the Bollington Cross and Kerridge areas will take the shortest walking route to school which will take them across the Silk Road (A523) a route which has been, justifiably, deemed to be an unsafe route.
