This Friday is the deadline for receipt of applications for the school transport scheme.
It provides transport to pupils who live 3.2 kilometres from primary school and 4.8 kilometres from post-priamry school.

Cllr Healy says it's important everyone who needs school transport get their applications in before this Friday.
