The leaders of Christian churches on the Island sent a letter yesterday to Isle of Wight council leader, David Pugh and all councillors, questioning the plans to end all discretionary concessionary fares for faith schools.
In the letter (see in full below) the Island’s Christian community register their “profound concern” and urge the Council to “not bring forward these divisive proposals at this sensitive time”.
Chris Whitehouse from Saint Winifred’s in Totland tells us that the initiative was coordinated by Fr Gerard Flynn, the Roman Catholic Coordinating Pastor for the Island; and the The Venerable Caroline Baston, the Church of England Archdeacon for the Island.
