Our daughter’s been at the school for just over a year and she’s really come into her own”

Mr Boore added: “[Our daughter has] only been walking for the last 12 months.

“Walking is a concern for us because we don’t know where the pick up point will be.

“[The bus service] should stay as it is. It’s been working really well.

“Our daughter’s been at the school for just over a year and she’s really come into her own.

“She’s getting a bit of independence.”

Mr and Mrs Boore have now written to Hayes and Harlington MP John McDonnell in the hope he will champion their cause.

In their letter to Mr McDonnell, the couple say that there was no consultation on the changes and that the issue is leaving many parents ‘angry, upset, worried and distressed’.

It is unclear which schools in the borough are being impacted by these bus service changes.

A statement from Hillingdon Council said: “The current disability transport service involves costly individual home collections for each child.

“We will be replacing this service with group pick-up points for some pupils, so parents or carers will accompany their children to their nearest collection point in the morning and meet them again in the afternoon.

“All pick-up points will be within a mile of the child’s home, with many being considerably less than a mile. We are currently evaluating the needs of each child on a case-by-case basis and not all pupils and schools will be affected. Parents will be notified of any changes to their child’s school transport at the beginning of January, and we plan to launch a phased implementation of the new service from February 20 2017.”
