Request

In a recent post by LCC you said that the cost of school transport in Lincolnshire had increased vastly recently.

1. Would it be possible to tell me how much it cost you in 2016/2017 and how much it cost in the most recent year you have records for please (2021/2022)?

2. If possible can you single out the costs for school transport from the Mablethorpe area to the secondary schools pupils attend for the same years?
