Call for council to meet Aaron's transport costs

MORE than 6000 people have signed a petition calling for Scotland's biggest council to provide school transport for a severely disabled eight-year-old boy.

Aaron Cleary cannot walk, talk or eat and has a limited life expectancy. He currently attends The Craighalbert Centre, the Scottish Centre for Children with Motor Impairments.

His parents had to fight a legal battle with Glasgow City Council to secure his place at the school, but now officials have said he will no longer be provided with transport to the centre – 20 miles away from his home.
