There are concerns some pupils will not be able to continue their education because of a lack of post-16 transport.

Those attending Wrexham's only provider of sixth form studies in Welsh and others from rural areas are among those affected, the council's lifelong learning scrutiny committee heard.

The council has no statutory obligation to offer post-16 travel and some pupils pay concessionary fares of £2 a day.

Recommendations were made to review the situation due to the cost of living.

Pupils living in rural areas such as Bronington and Overton have found it hard getting to their nearest sixth form, the Maelor School in Penley.
