REMINDER: School-Transport-and-Post-16-Transport-Policy-Consultations

Hampshire County Council is keen to remind local residents that there is still time to share their views on proposed changes to their School Transport and Post-16 Transport Policies. 
  
Hampshire County Council is running two consultations on its current School Transport Policy and its Post-16 Transport Policy for 2026/27.   

Reminder that consultations run until this Sunday (7 December) and they seek feedback on a number of small, proposed changes to make the two policies easier to understand and provide greater clarity on how the services are delivered and managed.

Alongside these basic changes to policy wording, the County Council is also proposing to withdraw the formal offer of a Spare Capacity Seats Scheme in its School Transport Policy. 

Visit the webpages below for more information about each consultation and details of how to submit your feedback:

Next steps
Analysis of the consultation feedback will be presented, alongside recommendations for each policy, to the County Council’s Cabinet Lead Member for Children’s Services at a future Decision Day in early 2026.
