WSCC...shambolic service all round!!! Never returned my calls/emails from a year ago and the illegally parked vehicle that I tried to report, that took WSCC over 4 months to remove, has returned. Worst council that I have ever had the misfortune to deal with!

Ann Richards of mash wrote false damaging information about me , their mash social workers were found to be junk status by ofsted failing children on a Daily basis, yet these clowns continue to ruin lives with their lies. I have video evidence they have fictionalised the material , yet they do nothing to remiss it, if a law firm is taking legal action against them or has experience doing this, please contact me.

Absolutely appalling. My son is 11 and due to start secondary school in September. It is important to us that he attends a faith school. He has Autism and academically he is very bright however he has the behaviour of an 8 or 9 year old. Due to being academically bright he doesn't qualify for an EHCP so we are unable to receive any help with transport. He has been allocated a secondary school 15 miles away from home. Due to the cost of living crisis we can only afford to run one car which is needed for work. We couldn't afford the cost of petrol to drive 300 miles a week to and from school! So much for WSCC reducing environmental pollution! If he got a bus he would have to leave home at 5.45am, the journey would take approx 2 hours and there would be more than 37 stops en route. He cannot be trusted to get a train as he wouldn't cope with having to change trains at Barnham and walk for 20 minutes to school the other end. WSCC really couldn't care less about my son's safety at all. It's absolutely disgusting. Their lack of understanding of medical conditions is shocking. As far as they're concerned he's clever so he must have the common sense to be able to get to school safely. I appealed their decision regarding the school placement and requested a faith school closer to home. We had supporting evidence from our GP and the Child Development Centre that our son won't be able to travel safely but the appeals panel rejected it. The scary thing is that WSCC confirmed that they have no knowledge whether any of the people on the appeal panel have any qualifications to overrule our GP or the Specialists so who are they to decide what is best for our son! They said he could go to our local catchment school but why should his disability prevent him from going to a faith school? Our only options seem to be to take in a lodger for extra income to be able to afford an additional car or move house to be closer to his new school. He doesn't want either of these and they would both be detrimental to his Autism. We don't want a stranger living with us so it seems we will be forced into moving house.
