'It makes me feel nervous and anxious as I don’t want him to be left without an education'
A mum fears her disabled son will be left without an education with no way of getting to school. Charlie Andrews was born with spina bifida, meaning he is paralysed from the waist down and relies on accessible bus to take him to his school.
When the service was cancelled completely on March 2, Charlie’s school, who Stacey says have been 'brilliant', stepped in and paid for an accessible taxi to take Charlie to school every day. But Stacey fears the funding will run out at any moment – leaving the youngster without an education. "It’s horrendous, I’m sick of it. It’s so unfair," the 39-year-old told the Manchester Evening News. "He’s still getting taxis to school but without an escort.
"He’s getting heavy," she added. "I’m awaiting an MRI scan on my back. My daughter has been having to put Charlie in and out of taxis which has sometimes resulted in her being late for college. Stacey says there have been no previous issues with Charlie’s transportation to Tottington Primary School, with the problems starting at the start of the school year last autumn.
The authority says several drivers have left employment in the taxi trade to pursue a career in the HGV industry and unfortunately have not returned to private hire work.
