Students to meet Assembly committee

Coleg Llandrillo students will give evidence on the provision of free bus passes for students to the Assembly’s Petitions Committee this summer.

The students presented a petition to Clwyd West AM Darren Millar in January calling for free bus passes for students under 25 and in full time education.

The Petitions Committee discussed the idea and decided to undertake further research in to proposal, including evidence from the students themselves.

Darren Millar said:

“I am delighted that the Petitions Committee are giving this proposal serious consideration and that students will meet directly with committee members.

“Students at Coleg Llandrillo feel very strongly about the issue. The meeting is a wonderful opportunity for the students to make their views heard. It is excellent to see young people engaging with the democratic process”
