Freedom passes and entitled school travel to be honoured by Yellow Bus Service - apply for travel using links in this post.



The Chigwell Parish yellow bus service operated by Epping Forest Community Transport (EPCT) will allow free travel to those entitled to free school travel and Freedom Passes.  

After a number of queries I asked the manager for the bus service and it has been confirmed that the such travel will be subsidised directly by Essex County Council.  However passengers benefitting from such subsidies will still need to pay an annual fee of £15 for membership to EPCT.   

I remind everyone the costs for using the bus from October 5th will be: £2 one way, £3 return, adults £4.20 one way, £6 return (in addition to the annual membership).

Some children that travel to West Hatch will be able to apply for this free travel if more that 3 miles away from the school.  

An application for the free school travel can be accessed (here)

An application for a freedom pass (disabled or elderly) can be accessed (here)

Justice Unveiled: Preliminary Proceedings in the Hainault Sword Attack Trial

Image
During a brief preliminary hearing at the Old Bailey concerning the tragic 5-person sword attack in Hainault resulting in the death of 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin, it was decided that a full trial would convene on February 3, 2025. Marcus Aurelio Arduini Monzo, the defendant, was escorted into the courtroom by a police officer and court official, appearing aloof and distant behind a partition of glass. In a peculiar moment, he fixed a menacing gaze upon me for approximately two minutes, a futile attempt at intimidation given his confined circumstances. The prosecution outlined the case, detailing the attack on 5 individuals, which began with a collision with an unidentified person and escalated to the wielding of a sword. When confronted by the victim, Mr. Monzo callously retorted, 'I don't care, I'll kill you anyway,' before assaulting him.
