Since
early this term, parents of children going to Leigh Technology Academy from the Horton Kirby and South Darenth area
have been expressing their concerns about overcrowding on the 413 bus. I
have raised the issue with both KCC officers and the bus provider, Go-Coach, who have been looking for
ways to resolve the problem.
A solution is now in sight, and should come into effect at the
start of the new term. The 413 bus will no longer go to Leigh Technology
Academy, but will instead focus on the Dartford secondary schools.
Quite separately, a new bus - provisionally known
as the 411 - will serve Leigh Technology Academy directly. It will be
provided by Go-Coach and supported by funding from KCC.
This has been a difficult term for parents and young people
travelling to Leigh Technology Academy, but it now looks as though the
New Year will bring a welcome new service.
