Olivia Lawrence, felt it was so unfair that on moving into sixth form at the Marches in Oswestry her parents suddenly had to fund her £3.60 return bus fair from Trefonen, she wrote to Shropshire Council.

The unitary authority is to put her letter to the council meeting tomorrow and invited the student along to speak to councillors.

Although Olivia is unable to attend because of lessons she is pleased that the council will be hearing her plea.
