We had a meeting this morning with the gentleman who has provided our bus service over the last years. Totally out of the blue, he demanded that the parents pay double the amount that they were paying last year. Unfortunately, there was no way of negotiating with him, and, understanding that it would be totally unacceptable for parents to pay so much for the bus service, we will no longer be dealing with this company.
We have already been very busy trying to arrange an alternative and I am hopeful that we will have a solution in place for next week.
As a result of all this, there will be no bus service operating this week.
I thank you for your understanding in this matter and am really disappointed that a company that has worked closely with us all for so long has decided to take this position.
We will be posting updates on this matter as and when we have news.
See you all tomorrow!
