Say NO to train travel to school.
Local Council are changing school travel from bus to train. For Dalmally this means young children walking up to 3 miles along a busy main road with no street lights, other areas will have similar problems.
Once in Oban the children will have to walk to the high school crossing many busy roads at rush hour, most of the first years will not have walked round Oban alone before.
Please support our aim of stopping this potential catastrophe from happening.
These changesare beingmade without consulting parents. We must tell them what we think.
I spent the afternoon walking the route our children would be forced to take and the total lack of lighting along that main road is even more dangerous than I first imagined. I am currently compiling a formal letter to the local council because this plan puts our kids at serious risk every single morning.

Seeing this grow so quickly confirms that I am not the only one terrified about our children walking those dark roads alone. This momentum shows the council that our families refuse to be ignored while our kids are put in danger.

Are they mad? My son is 11 and there is no way he can walk that road in the dark. Put the buses back where they belong.

NO WAY. Oban is far too busy for kids to be wandering about on their own. Sort it out council.

Total disgrace. They clearly have no idea what the road is like in winter. Just trying to save a penny at the kids expense.

This seems a ridiculous plan. Typical Council idiocy.
