How on earth is someone on Income Support supposed to pay a small fortune in bus fares for their sons/daughters to travel to school for up to three years from say Ystradowen to Ammanford (11 miles) or Cynghordy to Bro Myrddin (32 miles) after they turn 16?<br /><br />The Carmarthenshire administration must be the most bonkers of the lot.Emlyn Uwch Cychhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03384157218244458970noreply@blogger.com
