Parents objecting to the withdrawal of bus services to schools in rural areas have accused Oxfordshire County Council of denying their democratic rights.
The current scheme allows parents and carers who do not qualify for free home-to-school transport to pay for seats on buses where there is space.
But despite the council previously denying they have withdrawn the scheme families have been told it was intending to significantly reduce the number of spare seats available.
Several parents have since objected saying they would have to change their work schedules or move their children to new schools.
The council has also been accused of suppressing informed debate for not allowing more than three parents to speak at the upcoming meeting.
One parent said: ‘I’m extremely angry and frustrated and I believe they want to limit the number of objections to the scheme so they can gloss over it.
‘This is a complete failure by the council for not communicating in a more professional or timely way with the parents.’
