Had a Google, he's a councillor in Newton Aycliffe. It's not a typo that surprisingly.

A pop up one, presumably for all the events the council keep cancelling.

Cuts to Home to School Transport

No surprise there, with Nigel Fromage’s party in control.

The article says that particular change has been in the offing for a few years.

Durham is one of the few remaining LAs that provides free school transport for young people over 16 with EHCP and particular needs (though it’s a pain as you have to reapply for it every single year, even on a 3 year course) but it’s clear they’re going after that, next.
