Willaston parents sending children to Malbank in Nantwich face a hefty £950 annual bus bill after Cheshire East decided to axe free transport.
Highways chiefs say the opening of a new crossing at the Peacock roundabout means children who live within the three-mile statutory limit now have a “safe walking route” to Malbank.
A furious headteacher has hit out at council officials who are to remove free school transport between Willaston and Nantwich after opening a new crossing.
Malbank School head John Harrison says Cheshire East’s decision to deem a near three-mile hike between Willaston and his school a “safe to walk” route raises “serious concerns about student safety”.

Dear Editor
I would like to offer some well-deserved praise to Cheshire East Council for the completion of the new toucan crossing at the Peacock roundabout — a notoriously busy junction with fast-moving traffic.
Dear Editor,
While I welcome the long-overdue decision to install a toucan crossing at the Peacock roundabout — a notoriously busy junction with fast-moving traffic — I am completely baffled as to why this relatively straightforward piece of work is expected to take up to five weeks.
Plans for a new crossing on the busy A51 Nantwich Bypass could see home-to-school transport axed for Willaston children.
The new crossing is set to be installed on the busy Peacock Roundabout where the A51 bypass meets the A534 Crewe Road.
Dear Editor,
I am writing to express my concern following recent correspondence between our local MP, Connor Naismith, and Gill Betton, Head of Children’s Development and Partnerships at Cheshire East Council.
